With all the talk lately about the great american card flipping book, i thought i'd see if anyone has this one. I picked it up off of ebay. Looks like some great pics and good reading. Just wondering if anyone already has it.

    Chris, I bought it off Amazon a couple months ago because of a thread on here, Very nice book, it sure brought back a lot of memories plus imparted much new knowledge. The pics are great too,

    I believe I own the best book out there...."Baseball cards of the Fifties" It has a picture (front only) of every Topps and Bowman Baseball card made from 1950-1959, if anyone is interested I can list the isbn # here and the author.

    I've got the one of every card from the '60's. Great pics, but not much reading.

    just last night i was on amazon looking for a book on old (1880`s thru 1930) prewar cards.

    that would show all the sets and examples of the cards themselves.

    most were out of print, but a couple that i saw were like $190.00 !!!!!

    i could not believe it !

    i guess its the old law of supply and demand.

    There is a similar sized book of all Topps cards through the late 80's (its when it came out). Both of these books are great references to see what certain cards look like.

    I've got the Topps book of all Red Sox cards, it was a giveaway in affiliation with some company around 1989 (Slice?). The pics are great and show all Red Sox Topps cards from '52 though 1988. There is a book for each team.

    Yea, I've had "Classic Baseball Cards" for several years. I look at it at least once a month and it's awesome to look at all those cardsimage

    Guy's,
    I will list the info for the book I was talking about earlier....."Baseball cards of the Fifties"
    complete Topps cards
    1950-1959
    Frank Slocum.......isbn # 0-671-89224-x

    This book is great for the pics but very little reading as someone posted earlier, but you really can get lost for hours just thumbing through it and enjoying the card pic's.

    crsports, would you mind listing the info for the 60's version.
    Thanks

    Just so you know, there is another copy of the same book that I linked. I think it has a few days left. Search under books and baseball cards. Just a heads up.

    Yes, it has Bowman issues. it's been out for a long time. I got it on a discount rack several years ago. It's a great reference book!

    "Classic Baseball Cards" has pretty much everything except Topps, since Topps published their own book.
