How many lineup cards per game in MLB?

[DannyNoonan]

I should add that I am currently in the process of doing research and interviews for a book on the history of lineup cards. Lineup cards have played a small but important and unique role in the history of baseball, and I was surprised that no one has ever written anything in-depth about them, so I am doing it myself. But I look at this as a group effort, and have been very fortunate to already collect a lot of great info from collectors like yourselves among many others in and around baseball. If you have any knowledge to share about lineup cards, especially before the year 2000, please let me know.

Also, I'm including sections profiling high-end lineup cards (e.g., the cards from Ripken's 2,131 game, the 2004 World Series G4 dugout card bought for $165k, etc) as well as lineup card collections (I'm interested in all sorts of collections, not just high end ones). If you have a high-end card or an interesting collection and are up for it, please message me or email me at oemtom at aol . com.

Thank you!

Jeff Lazarus (Topnotchsy) and I talk all the time about line-up cards. I probably have 400 or more (many Mets related) line-up and dugout cards and would be happy to share any information I can with you.

If anyone has a Reds Lineup Card (signed by Sparky) between the years of 1970-76, I would definitely be interested. The game needn't carry any historical significance, and it doesn't matter who won. But preferably one from a game in which Tony Perez was listed as a starter.

Would love to have just one from that era, as I regret letting mine go a while back. Thanks!
