If you are referring to Heitman's pamphlet it has some useful information but it is over 25 years old. At the time it was groundbreaking, but today the average T206 collector knows most of that stuff. Still worthwhile if you can find a copy.

Lipset's three volume Encyclopedia is best for information on vintage card sets, and has been reprinted: Classic Baseball Cards by Slocum is best for photographs of cards; and back issues of hobby publications such as Old Cardboard and the Vintage and Classic Baseball Collector always have good articles. There are probably others that I am forgetting.

If you are talking about T206's you have to read Scot Reader's book. It is the most up to date and excellently researched
and documented book on this set.

Barry, Ted, and Marty are right in suggesting Scot Reader's T206 compilation, as well as Mr. Lipset's great work of 3 volumes, The Encyclopedia of Baseball Cards. Volume 3 deals with twentieth century tobacco cards.

Any collector really wanting to understand old cards would benefit greatly by obtaining and reading these. Although someone wanting attempting to "invest" in old cards wouldn't really need either of these.
