An A-Z gallery of trading card history is delivered with this amazing 1887-2023 Type collection. Each graded by either PSA or SGC, this inspiring archive is important in two respects. First, at least one baseball card from each year post-1906 is included (five non-sport cards from 1900-1905 are present). During those few seasons in which a baseball issue was not released (1918 and 1942), a non-sport card or ticket stub has been used as a substitute. Additionally, each post-1950 card pictures a Most Valuable Player from either the American League or National League (some years have both). A complete list of cards from this extraordinary project is available upon request. Highlights include:
