It would be a shame to limit Thomas Owens' Collecting Baseball Cards to the young audience it was written for: many an adult collector will find this the perfect introduction to baseball cards, using easy language to explain how the cards are graded and what determines their value. Color photos throughout display vintage cards.
Thomas Owens' Collecting Baseball Cards (1708-2) provides a primer on collecting, with color photos of cards and players supplementing the basics on how to start and value a collection.
This book is great for learning the basics of card collecting. Explains the grading system easily. Gives a great history on baseball cards. Is written and geared more toward the younger collector but was informative for me as an adult. Gave me a start in my new hobby.
