5.0 out of 5 stars Topps Complete Baseball Card Collection In A Book!, July 26, 2006

This review is from: Topps Baseball Cards: The Complete Picture Collection, a 40-Year History, 1951-1990 (Hardcover)

Excellent View of all Topps Baseball Cards Presented Yearly of each cards front face reduced to approx. 20% of the actual size on nice premium glosy thick paper. Hoping that someday maybe the size (larger) and back side of each card can be made in the same format. For now the next best thing to actually owning the entire collection which (Depending of course on condtion) could cost approx. half million dollars. An excellent gift for any baseball card fan of years gone by to re-live there child-hood memories in this massive volume weighting more than 10-lbs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every Card for Every Year!, May 26, 2008

By 

The Poet (Minnesota) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Topps Baseball Cards: The Complete Picture Collection, a 40-Year History, 1951-1990 (Hardcover)

This book shows the front side of every Topps baseball card that was created from their inception in 1951 through 1990, when the book was published. It also includes the "Traded Series" for those players drafted or traded during said year. Each year has a section of what happened in the season during said year, and has a quiz. The quiz asks a question, and the answer is told in the form of a number, which correlates to a specific players card number for that year. This book is a joy to have, especially at looking into the past and seeing the players of yesteryear. The book is heavy, as it is almost 11 pounds, but it is well worth it!

The book is what I wanted but not the book I ordered. The cover was damaged and not in very good shape. The front and back were in bad shape. The inside of the book was fine the cover was just in bad shape. This is my first time ordering here and was not very impressed with the quality of the book and for the money I spent on it. The pictures I saw showed the book in great condition but was very sad it was in bad shape on the outside. Way to much money for the quality of the book.
