Here is the history of our national pastime through the last century, presented in postcard art, with commentary and pricing for various types of cards. This description may be from another edition of this product.
If you love baseball and postcards, you have found the perfect book. Ron Menchine -- the last voice of the now gone but never forogoten Washington Senators -- has put together a delight for the mind and the eye. Not only does he show some of the hardest-to-find and beautiful baseball postcards, but his commentary on the history backing them up is as good as it gets. He knows the game -- and loves it. And it shows. What particularly caught my attention was the commentary and photos of the early 20th Century postcards, not often seen at shows or in collection. If you're looking for a comprehensive checklist book of baseball postcards through the decades this is not it. It does have some values. It is meant to be an ode to baseball and postcards -- and that is more than enough. An outstanding book that will bring many memorables hours looking, reading and remembers. Thanks, Ron, for the treat.
