I have two big things to share in this month’s overview. The first is launching a pair of longer-term and larger documentation efforts, which you can see on the Projects page; the 1952 Topps Baseball Type Photos and Crossovers and Checklist Central. They join the Unopened and Oddball Archives as continually updated efforts here on the site.
The second big announcement is that the Post War Cards Newsletter is now a weekly release!
I continued to update PostWarCards.Com this month with eight new articles and 18 archive additions, and four, now weekly, Post War Cards Newsletters. I’ve linked all the new material below.
