Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-6?Stressing pleasure over profit, this introduction delves into a wide array of baseball collectibles including tickets stubs, team schedules, autographs, and other items that can be obtained at little or no cost. Owens, who also wrote Collecting Baseball Cards (Millbrook, 1993), encourages readers to be on the lookout for free items that are often available through promotions at grocery stores and fast-food chains, and giveaways on the back of cereal boxes and at the ballpark. Children are instructed on the proper care of collections and told how to request merchandise and autographs. Suggested form letters are included. Addresses of magazines and groups associated with baseball collectibles are appended, as is a large glossary. This book has a crisp layout with full-color photos or reproductions on nearly every page. While not a price guide, this title will be of interest to young baseball enthusiasts, especially those who want to collect items other than cards, and who don't want to spend much to do it.?Tom S.
