    This Route is Prepared For: Noah Grunzweig December 13, 2013 Travel Beginning in Portland, OR www.betterworldclub.com Dear Noah Grunzweig: Here´s your CustomMaps travel packet from Better World Club. It includes specially prepared maps with narrative driving directions and a thick shaded line indicating a suggested route for your trip. Before you leave, you´ll probably want to become familiar with the packet. As you look at it, you´ll notice that some maps have only major roads and towns on the maps, to make them easy to read. In some instances, secondary highways may not appear on the map. However, the narrative directions and the shaded line will easily guide you to the road. If you desire a more detailed map, please call and we will provide you with a map of that particular area or state. As you flip through your travel packet, you´ll also see that the narrative directions provide time estimates, which you can use to figure approximate hours of drive time per day. In addition to the state maps, you´ll find we´ve also included some city maps showing more detail, to help you get your bearings. Finally, at the back end of your travel packet, you´ll find a "Places of Interest" section. Here we´ve indicated several sites for each state you´ll be driving through, just in case you´d like to stop and see something special on your way to or from your final destination. Below is your Travel Itinerary, or list of requested destinations. We trust you´ll have a safe and pleasant drive.

  • Hobby History Burdick’S First Catalog of Cards
    Hobby History Burdick’s First Catalog of Cards Jefferson Burdick, the Father of Card Collecting (note the 1946 ACC on his desk) By George Vrechek The first catalog arrived 73 years ago and still looks good The 1946, 1953 and 1960 catalogs. Jefferson Burdick (1900-1963) started the first newsletter for card collectors, originated the classification system for cards, and donated his 306,353-card collection to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Not surprisingly, his first attempt at publishing a catalog for collectable cards was superb. Many readers are familiar with Burdick’s 1960 The American Card Catalog. Burdick was what you would call a regular guy. He published a catalog every seven years and a newsletter every other month without fail. In their uncontrollable urge to collect and organize, modern collectors have made Burdick’s catalogs collectables themselves. Every seven years Burdick published catalogs in 1939, 1946, 1953 (with an updated re-printing in 1956), and 1960. The 1939 catalog was called The United States Card Collectors Catalog; all subsequent catalogs were called The American Card Catalog, Burdick feeling that Canada, Central, and South America should be included in the fold (and potential subscribers). Following Burdick’s death, Woody Gelman continued the catalog one more time with a 1967 effort. Thereafter, catalogs morphed into Bert Sugar’s The Sports Collectors Bible, Beckett & Eckes’s The Sport Americana Baseball Card Price Guide, SCD’s Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards, as well as other publications over the years. Burdick’s catalogs were more plentiful with each successive edition.

  • A Review of the Post-WWII Baseball Card Industry
    A Review of the Post-WWII Baseball Card Industry Artie Zillante University of North Carolina Charlotte November 25th,2007 1Introduction If the attempt by The Upper Deck Company (Upper Deck) to purchase The Topps Company, Inc. (Topps) is successful, the baseball card industry will have come full circle in under 30 years. A legal ruling broke the Topps monopoly in the industry in 1981, but by 2007 the industry had experienced a boom and bust cycle1 that led to the entry and exit of a number of firms, numerous innovations, and changes in competitive practices. If successful, Upper Deck’s purchase of Topps will return the industry to a monopoly. The goal of this piece is to look at how secondary market forces have shaped primary market behavior in two ways. First, in the innovations produced as competition between manufacturers intensified. Second, in the change in how manufacturers competed. Traditional economic analysis assumes competition along one dimension, such as Cournot quantity competition or Bertrand price competition, with little consideration of whether or not the choice of competitive strategy changes. Thus, the focus will be on the suggested retail price (SRP) of cards as well as on the timing of product releases in the industry. Baseballcardshaveundergonedramaticchangesinthepasthalfcenturyastheindustryandthehobby have matured, but the last 20 years have provided a dramatic change in the types of products being produced. Prior to World War II, baseball cards were primarily used as premiums or advertising tools for tobacco and candy products. Information on the use of baseball cards as advertising tools in the tobacco and candy industries prior to World War II can be obtained from a number of different sources, including Kirk (1990) and most of the annual comprehensive baseball card price guides produced by Beckett publishing.
