Pre-war resources
 

Hi,
Just wanted to see if anyone could recommend some resources for researching pre-war cards. I recently ordered the book 'The T206 Collection: The Players & Their Stories', but am very curious what research materials you guys use.
Thanks!!

A great site, and here is another I like as well:

I'd recommend getting a number of books and magazines:

The Old Judge book is a must have:

Lew Lipset's Encyclopedia is still an outstanding resource, if you can find a copy:
(The Encyclopedia of Baseball Cards, Volumes 1, Two & Three Combined)

If you search around, I'd recommend picking up complete runs of
VCBC (The Vintage & Classic Baseball Collector Magazine)
and
Old Cardboard magazine

Cheers,

Great for casual reading and the site has a search function for a more streamlined focus. It's not the best place to start, but if they've written about a subject it's generally a good read.

Thanks!!
