Pre-War Baseball Christmas Gifts 2011

[Bosox Blair]

Hi Folks,

Looking for gift ideas for a pre-war baseball fan who already has a lot of stuff that came out in the last 10+ years (ie. books, DVDs, etc.)

So I guess I'm asking whether anyone knows of any recently marketed items - say in 2011 - that I could consider.

My first thoughts lean towards books and DVDs, but if you have other suggestions, that would be cool. (Not looking at purchasing cards/collectibles themselves, but resource materials on these things would be cool.)

Price between $10 and $300 please!


Cheers,
Blair

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,

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!

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..................
