Welcome to www.StarsOfTheDiamond.com! This website highlights my collection of Sports Cards, and more specifically my Pre-World War II Baseball Card Collection. I have been a collector of vintage sports cards for over 20 years. I have many areas of interest within the hobby, however, my taste is rather eclectic. Please note that not all cards on this site are for sale, but I do have an area where some cards can be purchased. I am actively looking for many cards for sets or projects that I am working on, so please check out my Wantlist . If you would like to contact Rhett he can be reached via e-mail at
rhettyeakley@netzero.com .

I would be willing to pay well for items on this list, and would love to speak with you if you have something I am interested in. The following cards are needed for sets I am working on or projects that are in the works. Again, don't hesitate to contact me via e-mail if you have something I need.
