“An entertaining history of baseball cards . . . An engaging book on a narrow but fascinating topic.” —The Washington Post When award-winning journalist Dave Jamieson’s parents sold his childhood home a few years ago, he rediscovered a prized boyhood possession: his baseball card collection. Now was the time to cash in on the “investments” of his youth. But all the card shops had closed, and cards were selling for next to nothing online. What had happened? In Mint Condition, his fascinating, eye-opening, endlessly entertaining book, Jamieson finds the answer by tracing the complete story of this beloved piece of American childhood. Picture cards had long been used for advertising, but after the Civil War, tobacco companies started slipping them into cigarette packs as collector’s items. Before long, the cards were wagging the cigarettes. In the 1930s, cards helped gum and candy makers survive the Great Depression. In the 1960s, royalties from cards helped transform the baseball players association into one of the country’s most powerful unions, dramatically altering the game. In the eighties and nineties, cards went through a spectacular bubble, becoming a billion-dollar-a-year industry before all but disappearing, surviving today as the rarified preserve of adult collectors. Mint Condition is charming, original history brimming with colorful characters, sure to delight baseball fans and collectors. “Jamieson explores the history of card collecting through an entertaining cast of characters . . . For anyone who can recall being excited to rip open their newest pack of cards, Mint Condition is a treat.” —Forbes

What is collected? What is discarded? When something is described as "mint condition," it means it has virtually no imperfections. This term is given to pre-owned objects, denoting their value. Collected and discarded materials absorb something from us, something distinctly human. I think about all of the stuffed animals I've owned, how I embedded personality in and formed a relation to those objects. The stuff we collect becomes elevated and reinscribed in that way. This is true for the materials we discard as well. Each plastic takeout container holds nourishment, however temporary it may be. The materials in my work are a combination of secondhand beanie babies, discarded bits and pieces of plastic, paper and styrofoam, as well as objects that invite a childlike spirit of arts and crafts such as beads, pipe cleaners, cotton balls and string. This element speaks to my personal embeddedness in the work. To this degree the work is an opportunity to gain insight into my own collection habits that fill corners in both my home and memory. Allowing the objects one more incarnation. This project was born out of a drive to take childhood objects and bring them to a larger scale- to give them more importance and value, as well as an aim to depict the process of growing up, a process which may be deemed as a loss of innocence or value. The works in Mint Condition are anything but pristine. They are messy, at times grotesque with an element of sickly sweetness. The beanie babies themselves, which are often kept in mint condition by collectors, have been doused in glue, tied up and reconfigured forcing their significance to come from elsewhere.

Every morning, life seems to launch us onto a collision course with stress and tension. Exhaustion, loneliness, rejection, debt, or depression may form clouds over the day. Our strength, joy, peace, and productivity are so easily depleted. We need a Savior to help us...badly. How blessed we are when we see God's plan of salvation as much broader in scope than most of us expect from the gospel of Jesus Christ. Mint Condition explores Jesus' sacrifice on the cross and the events surrounding it, showing how they apply everywhere in our lives--in the practical world of work, in all our relationships, in the deepest struggles hiding in our own hearts. On our own, we fall short of the glory in which God designed us to live. Thank God, we are not on our own. He has a plan and it saves us from everything from which we need to be saved. God's plan reverses the destructive effects of sin and restores us to mint condition like Adam and Eve in their first beautiful days in the garden.
