  • Does race matter? Assessing consumer discrimination in the secondary basketball card market

    Open AccessWade P Smith, Eric Primm et al.ARTICLEThe Social Science Journal2011References: 15

    Sociologists continue to observe the ways race permeates America's social institutions, the institution of sport being no exception. Although researchers have explored customer racial discrimination via examinations of the secondary sports card market, only three studies have explored the phenomenon in the context of basketball, a sporting context with a higher proportion of non-White players than the baseball and football leagues that have been …

    Open AccessEric Primm, Nicole Leeper Piquero et al.ARTICLESociological Inquiry2011Cited by: 2References: 29

    A growing body of literature in a variety of disciplines has appeared over the last 20 years examining customer racial bias in the secondary sports card market; however, consensus on the matter has yet to emerge. In this article, we explore the more subtle ways that a player's race/ethnicity may affect the value of his sports card including a player's skin tone (light- to dark-skinned). Data were obtained for 383 black, Latino, and white baseball…

    Open AccessEric Primm, Nicole Leeper Piquero et al.ARTICLEThe Social Science Journal2010References: 5

    Although research examining the role of racial bias in the secondary sports card market has been an emerging area of inquiry, empirical knowledge on the question: "Does the race of the player on a sports card affect the value of the card?" remains inconclusive. This paper revisits one of the first studies on this topic. Data were derived for 66 Black, White, and Latino members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame who were elected by a vote of th…

Data were derived from 148 black and white football players who are members of the Pro-Football Hall of Fame. All players in the sample started their careers after p…

  • Where o’ where did my baseball cards go

    Open AccessRobert M Regoli, Eric Primm et al.ARTICLEThe Social Science Journal2007Cited by: 3References: 3

    On the surface, baseball cards appear to be little more than uninteresting object of child's play; yet they provide invaluable data for assessing unique aspects of the social order. They reveal much about the state of society when they were produced and the people who collected them. This paper examines the unique numbering system the Topps company developed to differentiate among the “royalty of the diamond” from 1956 to 1980. Their system assig…
