Perfect Christmas Gift For Baseball Fans to Give or Receive:
2025 Vintage Baseball Cards Calendar!
If you have a baseball fan on your Christmas list this year – or if someone is asking you what you would like for Christmas – I’ve got the perfect gift idea: The 2025 Vintage Baseball Cards Calendar!
Each monthly image on these high-quality calendars is from the Gold Borders T205 series produced by the American Tobacco Company in 1911.
OK…I’ll admit it! I’m a bit prejudiced in favor of these calendars. Here’s the reason: A nice little personal touch is that the historical background that accompanies each monthly image was provided by none other than yours truly!
That’s right…Peter Shin, publisher of the calendars at Asgard Press, contacted me earlier in the year and asked me if I’d be willing to provide the historical descriptions and background information for each of the players selected for the 2025 calendar. My name is even listed on the back as a historical consultant. Needless to say, I was happy to contribute to this great product. The photo gallery above will give you a nice sampling of what each calendar looks like and images of the different Deadball Era players selected.
Here’s the description of the calendars from the Asgard Press website:
“Revisit the history of America’s pastime each month with the Asgard Press 2025 Vintage Baseball Cards Calendar, a collection of faithfully reproduced old-time baseball trading cards from the early 1900s.”
“Bonus images on each grid page add to the story of America’s favorite game, with captioning to give more information. With its large vertical format of 11×15 inches, our wire-bound wall calendar opens to an impressive 11×30 inches. The perforated design allows for easy removal of each month’s image, making them a perfect fit for standard 11×14 inch frames. Generously sized grid spaces leave plenty of room to keep track of all your appointments, reminders, and events. Enjoy learning about the history of baseball through this calendar of classic collectible cards, appropriate for hanging in home, office, or classroom.”
