Old Baseball Card Photographs - Obak (T212) Series Super High Resolution (2-DVD Set): Old Baseball Card Photographs Obak T212 Series Super High Resolution 2DVD Set |
| Product Description : "Some diehard antagonists of tobacco-based products may argue that baseball could have done without ?outside? help to enhance its popularity at the turn of the 20th century. Reference is made here to the seemingly over-emphasized contribution of baseball cards to the game?s popularity. While this may be true, (baseball games across the country were almost always sold out, remember?) one cannot deny the fact that these cards - never mind who sponsored them - have helped preserve the history of the game like no other written or photographic record. Moreover, collecting these nuggets of baseball history has become a national hobby and quite a profitable means of revenue for some. Seen objectively, these cards serve three chief purposes - preservation of baseball history, preservation of the history of the tobacco industry in the United States and not the least, as a reflection of the advances made in printing technology by 1909. The bottom line of course remains that these cards are priceless collectibles and cost quite a bit. If a novice has to start his collection today, he or she is sure to meet with frustrations. For one, these cards are difficult to locate. Moreover they are pricey and need a lot of care in terms of preservation. This DVD set is a one-stop shop for collectors. It contains no less than 336 scans of original early baseball cards from 1909. What this adds up to is hours saved on locating and acquiring these cards. It is also available for a pittance compared to the prices of original cards. That?s not all; each image is fully printable, thus offering a fabulous opportunity to build an album of baseball cards or use the prints as enviable wall hangings. Not many can refute an offer as beneficial as this and I think that explains the popularity of this title from A2ZCDS.com." |
