As a gimmick for the American Economics Association annual meetings in the 1990s, Prentice Hall in the US put out a series of baseball cards for the economists who wrote books for them.
So if you're dying to know what some famous economists look like (and why so few of them are on magazine covers) then dare to look! I'm dying to fill out my collection, so if you happen to have any other cards in this series, please send me an email at rduncan@csu.edu.au.
