 Review of

American League Baseball Card Classics: 82 Collector’s Cards Authentically Reproduced in Full Color, by Burt Randolph Sugar

Five out of five stars

Great reproduction of some classic cards

 If you cannot own the original card, owning these reproductions is a reasonable approximation. Many of the cards feature Hall-of-Fame players and the range covers many of the ways the cards were produced.

 There are Cracker Jack Ball Players, Piedmont cigarettes, Big League Chewing Gum, Play Ball, Diamond Stars, Baseball Picture Cards and Topps. The cards are perforated on the edges, so they can easily be removed without risk of being damaged.

 Leafing through this book of 82 cards, the reader is taken back through the history of baseball as well as the trading cards that document it.
