I had a lot of fun with the 2003 SCBC cover's dog theme and have had lots of good response. I'd like to invite members of this group to suggest a cover theme for next year's book. Our format requires three cards on front . . . one of a currently hot player, one of a really vintage (pre-WWI or so) player and one from the 1950s or 1960s. We need another card on the spine and from three to five on the back. Ideally all would follow a single theme. The person or persons who come up with a "winning" theme get the dubious honor of having their cards pictured on the book, a photo credit, etc. Let's have some fun with this and see what develops! |

Not too far off, Jay. In the picture, Henry's wearing a ferret collar. When I took him to the pet store, even the cat collars were too big |

i think jay is right,larry corcoran should be on the cover,then you can use a carlton fisk rookie(close enough to 60's) and a barry bonds card from now,then i would probably buy 2 copies or if you actually used one of my larry corcoran cards(or all of them if you want) id probably buy all the copies. |

sensors. I've heard good AND bad about the dogs (as cute as they are). Maybe something more general, like "great left-handed pitchers," "right-handed pitchers" "sluggers" "shortstops"--stuff like that--you'd have great cards to choose from and a semi-theme. Or great Dodgers, Yankees (or old name), Athletics, Red Sox (or Stockings), Reds (by any other name as well), Cubs (ditto), White Sox (also by any other name)--unfortunately, if you're going to need a card from way back, the Twins faction around here is REALLY going to get upset (unless they don't mind being called Washington). Again, you'd really have your choice of cards. And you want the cards to knock your sox off! How about the previous year's World Series participants? Can't take a bad picture of Eckhart! Or Bonds... |

I'm assuming from Bob Lemke's silence that the first choice (Henry on cover) is the picked choice-- and that any subsiquent comments to the contrary from Bob are merely so that they rest of you don't feel bad about your 'honorable mentions.' .... And, Bob, just in case you start to waiver, Henry's had some feelers from Beckett. |

I like the moustache/beard idea. The best moustache I've ever seen on a vintage card is O'Rourke's on his Kalamazoo Bats card. I can provide a scan if Bob needs it. A Rollie Finger's card with his moustache would also be great. |

He didn't say they had to be rhyming words, or each from a different country, or fish, or ANYTHING ELSE! I was trying to say that the more specific the theme, the poorer card choice you have, because you're working so hard to get cards that fit the THEME> And you're dead wrong about people not being able to agree on great cards. Look at the lists we've put up from time to time. Many of the same cards appear on most. And even if your Number 1 choice was only my number 3 or 4 choice, so what? |

of course for modern players--but there's Eckersly! I was thinking of Clenmens when he doesn't shave, and a lot of other guys too--come to think of it, little beards are really in with the As--don't the Yankees have a rule about no facial hair (how does Clemens get away with it?) Yeah, hair's O.K. with me. |
