Vintage Baseball Cards: 1886-1961
This site is designed for serious baseball card collectors as well as a reference point for newer collectors. You will find links to checklists and descriptions of classic baseball card sets from 1886-1961. I am currently expanding this site, so please check back again.
As of April 13, 2010 this site has a companion blog. Check it out. New entries arrive 3-4 times a week.
For information on modern baseball cards visit The Cardboard Connection. They have an extensive database of information and checklists for both vintage and modern baseball card sets.
