Question for you Guys

[rookies_plus]

Hey Guys I was just wondering if you guys knew of any books around that talk about the various vintage pre WW1 baseball cards. I am kind of looking to expand my knowledge of pre war cards and was wondering if you guys knew of any resouces.

I cannot recommend Lew Lipset's Encyclopedia of Baseball Cards enough. In one combined volume, Lew breaks down all the major 19th century tobacco cards, 20th century caramel cards, and 20th century tobacco cards. Checklists (although many have been updated) are included for all the sets, as well. A day does not go by that I don't reference this book.
