Summary: The checklist you need to find your favorite team's cards
Review: The "Team Baseball Card Checklist" is absolutely necessary to those of us who are trying to collect all of the baseball cards for our favorite team. I now have less than 10 cards to go to have all of the Topps New York Yankees from the beginning of the baseball card universe, but since it will cost me hundreds of dollars to get those high series 1952 Topps cards I am now working on Bowman cards as well. This book covers everything out there from the old Tobacco cards to Goudey and Play Ball, Fleer and Donruss, Sportsflics and Upper Deck, and on and on. It will definitely help you know what to look for and even tells you when the front of the card has a player with Team A and the back has the player with Team B. Then you can decide if you have to have it for your collection or not. I also use this book to help me with my completed sets, because what I do with each year's Topps cards is to arrange them in the binder to reflect what happened that year starting with the World Series cards with the cards for the World Champions followed by the rest of the teams in that league/division in the order they finished. I do the same thing for the other league, putting All-Star Cards in-between and the Rookie/Update cards at the end. Of course, with all the sub-sets within a set that they have today there are other options so one of the liabilities of this book is that it does not list all the non-team cards that are with a set. To track down those you need a more traditional checklist if you are trying to put together a complete set. I have found this a useful book and take it to every sports card show I attend as my primary checklist book.
