Pre-War Baseball Christmas Gifts 2011

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!

Last Christmas I received the past issues of Old Cardboard in conjunction with a subscription for future issues. A great gift that gave and is still giving...

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!

If you click on each issue on their website a table of contents for the issue comes up. I clicked on the first few issues and it looks like each one of those issues is about 50 pages (give or take).

Cheers,

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

I got these Repligraphs a few years ago. They have a few more players available as well.

They have great portrait photos of the early pre war legends, along with a replica signed check. I like these because they look cool, and they only cost $50 each, already framed.

I hate buying autographed memorabilia because of all the fakes, and these are a great alternative in my opinion.

Happy Thanksgiving,
Tony
