Summary: The checklist to have for tracking down your team's cards
Comment: Obliviously "The Sport Americana Team Baseball Card Checklist" is going to be useful to those of us who are trying to collect the cards for our favorite team. I now have less than 10 cards to go to have all of the Topps New York Yankees and am now starting to work on Bowman cards. 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.

However, I also use this book to help me with my complete sets. What I do with each year of Topps cards is to arrange them in the binder to reflect what happened that year. This means I start with the World Series cards, and then have 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. This book is helpful with this, but, of course, it does not list all the non-team cards that are with a set. Those you have to track down through a more traditional checklist.

Over the years I have found a few omissions in this book, so it is not perfect. But while I did spend one night trying to figure out what one card from the 1968 Topps set I was missing (Ray Oyler) it did let me know that #259 Sparky Lyle and #676 Danny Cater both appear as Red Sox and neither is a Yankee in the 1972 Topps set because they were traded for each other. On balance, I have found this a useful book and take it to every sports card show I attend.
