Well, I have ALL of those previously mentioned

The Encyclopedia of Baseball Cards" by Lew Lipset (1983)
- a great source for 19th Century issues

The T206 Collection: The Players & Their Stories (2010)

The Photographic Baseball Cards of Goodwin and Company (2008)
the most info on Old Judge cards

Standard Catalog of Vintage Baseball Cards, 3rd Edition (2013)
- By far, My favorite source.

Mint Condition: How Baseball Cards Became an American Obsession (2010)
- more about the hobby in general.

Additionally I have the following:

Beckett Baseball Card Alphabetical Checklist #11 (2005)
- which is very handy for finding all cards available of specific players

The Cracker Jack Collection: Baseball’s Prized Players (2013)

Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards, 15th Edition (2006)
- which I discontinued purchasing every year once I started concentrating exclusively on pre-1981 cards and the Vintage Catalog started being published.
