Talk:Baseball card

message: I am interested in seeing more information on Leaf Candy Company's place in the history of baseball cards.  I believe they were somewhat important in the 1940's-50's. ike9898 17:00, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

message: If you would like to add content on foreign cards, no arguments here. Please do so without refrencing commercial sites and by keeping the content relavent to the overall theme of the article.  While there  is a market for foreign cards [I own some], the market is very small. As such, they should not be used as the "standard example" of the modern industry. Thank you.Tecmobowl 22:52, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Please do not replace images simply to replace images.  For the benefit of the article, it woud be best to make sure that cards depicted are easily identifiable to most card novices.  Certainly, an image of a foreign card is appropriate for the foreign cards section.Tecmobowl 06:09, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Can someone please add some more content about Latin American cards? I wrote all that I know about them and it would be nice to have some more content and maybe some pictures? Delgado in Color 16:09, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  More info about Latin American cards? 

message: I agree that it's appropriate to include information about any part of the world where baseball is a significant professional sport.  NPOV would probably weight this pretty heavily toward the United States and Canada.  Baseball has a long and prominent history as a professional sport in these countries, more so than elsewhere, and the best players from Latin America, the Caribbean, and Japan often come to the North American major leagues for better compensation.  Although baseball is no longer the most popular sport in the United States, it was dominant there for a long time, and I don't think it ever overshadowed soccer (or to use the non-U.S. term, football) in Latin America.  Does this seem like a fair compromise to all involved? Durova 14:44, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Help pricing 

message: I deleted this comment: "As a result of the 1994 strike, anyone who crossed the picket lines and attempted to work as a replacement player is not permitted to be on a baseball card. As a result, there are many MLB players that do not have baseball cards from 1995 onward. Examples include Kevin Millar, Damian Miller and Cory Lidle."  There was no citation, and I know that at least Damian Miller and Cory Lidle have baseball cards post 1995.   
:It was incorrect, although there's a reason for the misunderstanding. I believe the more accurate explanation is found in the Topps article. I don't think the issue especially needs to be covered here. --Michael Snow (talk) 04:59, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Can somebody clarify? I know the cards are sold in (for instance) gum packs, but are they ID for the gum maker or for the printer? I'm thinking specifically of the Star Player cards (which I've heard of but never seen), & I have trouble imagining "Star Player" gum (which I've never seen, either). Thanx.

thread_title:  Cut Autos 

message: I'm surprised that there is no information in the article about the overproduction of baseball cards starting in the 1980's and how the market for most cards from the 1980's and 1990's have lost most of their value.  The era of steroid use has also had an impact, but I remember that following some of the investment bubbles of the early 2000's, a lot of people turned to liquidate their childhood baseball card collections on eBay, only to find that the market was supersaturated.  I'm sure these stories have been discussed in reliable sources somewhere, and I feel they should be mentioned in the article.  Its omission seems like bias in favor of the industry. – Maky « talk » 19:45, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Billy Ripken's card 

message: There seems to be a very large chunk of text under 'Card Collector' which reads to me like a personal promotion for a particular collector.  (It's not very well written and completely uncited.)  I'm being bold and deleting it.  Someone wants to revert me, be my guest, just please cite the notability of the reference and share why it's important to the article as a whole.  LaughingVulcan  20:21, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: HAs anyone ever seen a source that refers to the fact that player photos and statistics on the card would be very useful in the pre T.V. age.  When most baseball was broadcast on the radio I can imagine how useful it'd be to have statistics and a face to go along with them sitting next to you.  It'd give the listening audience something at which to look.  Seems like it would help the card industry's development and be a major selling point for them.  Yet, I have never seen anyone mention this.  It seems true, but not as a source-able fact.  Liberty5651 (talk) 00:11, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
