Jeffrey Burdick's American card catalog. Is the canon of baseball card books.
The 3 book lew Lipsit set should be at top of your list. It will bring a better understanding to everything else you read.
I would also get sports collectors bible 1st or 2nd edition
Any sports card diagest's
And you can pick up old SCD or Beckett catalogs cheap I would get a couple maybe every 5 years or so you can see how prices have changed over the past 40 years or so they have been around.
Hope this helps
Jonathan
