The sleek-looking black Hockey Collectors Album has a spine that is textured like the edge of a puck, while the front and back of the album are smooth like the flat surfaces of a puck. The Basketball Collectors Album is textured and colored like a basketball, and the white-and-red Premium Baseball Collectors Album has stitches on it like a baseball. It’s a great-looking way to store my favorite football card set. The cover of the album is textured like a pigskin and the spine is decorated with laces. I decided to put my 1985 Topps Football card set in a 3-inch Premium Football Collectors Album, which looks and feels like a football. I started buying sports cards in 1985, so cards from that year hold a special place in my heart. But what if you have a really-special set of cards that you want to stand out on your shelf – be it the first set you completed or cards of your favorite player? Or, what if you want a gift for your favorite sports card enthusiast that takes it to the next level?

David Davis: "The bible of baseball cards", The Los Angeles Times, June 28, 2009.Boyd: The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading and Bubble Gum Book, Mariner Books, New York, NY, 1991 (originally published in 1973). The book is light, but indispensable, sharing snippets of information about the small incidents and characters that only a kid with a decade's worth of too much time on his hands to thumb through baseball cards and pour over boxscores and AP-wire summaries could know. Significant snippits lay amid comedic ones, and stars are greatly out-numbered by the mediocre and those already forgotten by the time the book appeared. The format was to present a baseball card of the player, manager or umpire and to offer a brief commentary of one sentence or, at most, a few hundred words. Harris, The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading and Bubble Gum Book was an inspired book of often hilarious commentary on the baseball figures of the 1950s and 1960s.
