The History of Sports Card Collecting: Baseball, Football, and Basketball Cards
Class experience

I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in History and I'm currently working on my Master’s degree. I also have a personal collection of sports cards that total just under a quarter of a million cards.
The student will NOT be assigned a document to read prior to class. (I will encourage the students to share their personal collections of cards if they have them - if they don't have sports cards then they are welcome to purchase some packs at a local store and open them in front of everybody.)
