Maybe Ken Burns Baseball (if on dvd), or Glory of Their Times audiobook, might already have...
Or the T206 book about the players and their stories.

Hi Erick,

Thanks for these suggestions - the T206 book might work (the others are a definite already have).

Cheers,
Blair

And if you want a cheap stocking stuffer...I just ordered and got a very nice mousepad featuring t205 cards. Works great and very colorful! Love it!

Another good one - thanks!

Can anyone tell me about how many pages one of the Old Cardboard magazine issues generally have? I'm thinking about purchasing the $99 dollar special, but at least want the read to be worth it. Thanks in advance!

Pat Hughes the current radio announcer for the Cubs has 10 CDs of different radio voices of baseball out. Announcers are past and some present. Pat will also autograph the CDs for you. one of the CDs is Pat and Ron Santo, Harry Carey, vin Scully, and many more. sounds like a must for any baseball fan. Not cards but all baseball

Great tip! Just gave myself a Black Friday gift.

I have looked the last couple of years for a nice wall calendar that features vintage baseball cards. I had a nice one back in the 1980s, but haven't seen any at all in recent years.

Wouldn't a 12 month wall-calendar with a different group of cards each month (Old Judge - January), (T206 - February), (Cracker Jacks - March), etc. look really cool? It would need to be done with photos of real cards, not reprints.

There must be no money to be made in calendars or else someone would have done it recently.

Just a thought..................
