New Baseball Card Book Just Published

drc · #1 03-25-2010, 05:00 PM

Seems like an evenhanded history of the industry from the origins, with nice bios and photos of numerous key players-- Burdick etc. Shows the good and the bad, highs and lows, but is not a scandal sheet, like the Daily News book.

To save starting another book thread, there was an Editorial column last week in my Prov Journal by the Author about his new book "Fifty-Nine in '84" about Old Hoss Radbourn & the Providence Greys that should interest many of you.

The column provides an interesting preview:

Is their a good book out there with alot of good info on all of the Pre-War cards? Any suggestions?

Cannot wait for the T-206 book in June, but would like a good book on other sets that are out there.

Thanks a lot.

"Mint Condition" is favorably reviewed in the current (April) issue of Washingtonian, a popular magazine regarding goings-on in D.C. The author Jamieson is a local writer.

Hope to see all in Baltimore.

The book incorrectly states that the majority of photographs for the Old Judge set were taken by Jos Hall. I'm not sure where this tidbit came from. Otherwise, it is OK. Not great, just OK.

Did anyone else hear the interview with the author of Mint Condition on NPR yesterday afternoon? Unfortunately, I got a phone call from work about 1 minute into the story and missed most of it. I guess I'll try to listen to it off the NPR website.

If someone finds the link to the interview, could you please post it. I couldn't find it on the NPR site.

There's a quote on pg 21 that states that Hall was "the company's primary photographer," but I don't think Jamieson ever says Hall took the majority of the photos.
