Of wisden and wicket-keepers

Article Abstract:

Cricket devotees and collectors hunt a wide range of crickets memorabilia. These may include cricket bats, belt buckles, scorecards, jugs and tankards and menu-cards from cricket dinners. However, the most popular target are back issues of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack, a yearbook of the game that has been published each year since 1864. These old issues are so rare and fragile that collectors who have a collection of these may choose not to touch them at all to avoid damage. In that case, a facsimile version of the earlier Wisdens may be considered. Photographs detailing the history of the game are also popular, particularly those taken by George Beldam. Cricketing prints are also much sought-after although these have become too pricey for common collectors to afford. Lamentably, the expensiveness of most cricket artifacts is a major roadblock for the true enthusiasts of the game.
