Hobbies Magazines from the 1930S Have Burdick, Joe E
Hobbies Magazines from the 1930s have Burdick, Joe E. Brown, Cooperstown and more by George G. Vrechek Hobbies magazine was published beginning in 1931 with articles of interest to an assortment of collectors. Its publisher, O.C. Lightner of Chicago, started by purchasing a stamp magazine and then “rolling up” more than 20 additional publications which were usually in financial difficulty as the Great Depression lingered. The monthly issue might have 130 pages, mostly text, a smattering of photos and small ads by collectors. It featured as many hobbies as possible. I got interested in Hobbies because I found that Jefferson Burdick, the father of card collecting, had written some of the first card collecting articles in the 1930s for Hobbies. Burdick wrote a few short articles beginning in 1935 and then spent over 25 years writing for his own hobby creation: Card Collector’s Bulletin and editing the various issues of the American Card Catalog – the first card price guide and catalog. Burdick donated his own 300,000-card collection to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York where it resides today. In earlier SCD issues I covered the chronology of published articles on sports card collecting. Those articles were: Arthur H. Folwell, The New Yorker, May 4, 1929 J.R. Burdick , Hobbies, December 1935, January 1936, March 1936, May 1937, August 1937, September 1937, June 1938 Lionel Carter, Kaw Chief Stamp Journal, December 1936, February 1937 J.R. Burdick Card Collector’s Bulletin, January through April 1937, March 1938, June 1938, September 1938, November 1938, August 1939 and bi-monthly thereafter J.R. -
Baseball and the American Military During World War II
76 BOOK REVIEWS Book Reviews Sport History Review, 2005, 36, 76-84 © 2005 Human Kinetics Publishers, Inc. Growing Up With Baseball: How We Loved and Played the Game Edited by Gary Land. Lincoln, NE: University of Nebraska Press, 2004. (194 pp., $25.00 US) Playing for Their Nation: Baseball and the American Military during World War II. By Steven Bullock. Lincoln, NE: University of Nebraska Press, 2004. (184 pp., $30.00 US) Reviewed by Tim Morris, University of Texas at Arlington. Both Growing Up With Baseball and Playing for Their Nation are slightly offbeat—just enough to find their niche within the field of baseball history, where almost everything has a book unto itself and almost every event of the mid-twentieth century has been narrated in print countless times. Grow- ing Up With Baseball resembles oral histories in presenting the lives of ordi- nary people as they were touched by the sport, but it’s not oral history; it’s a collection of brief personal essays in the vein of oral history. (And it’s not all about baseball; at its most interesting, it’s about things that resemble baseball.) Playing for Their Nation is about baseball during the Second World War. But unlike Bill Gilbert’s They Also Served (1992), William C. Kashatus’s One-Armed Wonder (1995), or David Finoli’s For the Good of the Country (2002), it’s not about baseball as it was played in professional leagues during the War. Playing for Their Nation is about the baseball played in the service, and there was a lot of it. -

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Three historians helped to make this study possible. Timothy Gilfoyle supervised my work with great skill. He gave me breathing room to research, write, and rewrite. When he finally received a completed draft, he turned that writing around with the speed and thoroughness of a seasoned editor. Tim’s own hunger for scholarship also served as a model for how a historian should act. I’ll always cherish the conversations we shared over Metropolis coffee— topics that ranged far and wide across historical subjects and contemporary happenings.
