Posted By: Tom BoblittI WISH that were the case. Ideally, I guess I could intercept the pacakge in our Worldport hub here that about a million pkgs go through a night but I'd have to drag my sorry ass out in the middle of the night to pick it up and ride a triple decker bus in about a mile or two and it'd be majorly illegal to do something like that to. So....just got lucky. Had it shipped to my UPS Store postal box and it was there when I picked up the mail today.

Posted By: Dan BrettaIt would have been worth it though right? <img src="/images/happy.gif" height="14" width="14" alt="happy.gif"> I'm going to guess since you live right by the hub I'm not going to get mine until Monday. I'll be jonesing all weekend!

Posted By: Anthony S.Could someone scan/photograph a page or two of the book and post it. I've been considering buying one, but lack the intestinal fortitude to pay the $125 sight unseen.

Posted By: Dan BrettaAnthony, if I get some time in the next few hours I may do so....I just barely got through skimming the first 50 or so pages and I'm knocked out...Some of those California League cards I've not seen before and they are awesome.

Posted By: barrysloateAnthony- I was fortunate to be able to view the proofs a few months back, and I will say this: imagine the best you might expect the book to be, and it will surpass that. It is jaw-dropping, both the pictures and the text.

Posted By: leonSomeone dropped the box it came in and lowered the technical grade, with a corner ding, down to a: Pro- 10 PSA- 5 Beckett- 4 SGC- 2 GAI- *will know more on Monday seriously, even my wife says it's awesome. Nice job by 3 of our most respected board members, Joe G, Jay M, and Richard M.....

Posted By: Max WederCan someone post a scan? I don't actually read baseball books, but base my purchasing decisions as to how good the book looks on my bookshelf <img src="/images/happy.gif" height="14" width="14" alt="happy.gif"> <img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/198/462349533_9049ba3701.jpg" alt="[linked image]">

Posted By: Fred CDan, THANK YOU!!! Just seeing those pages put an ear to ear grin on my face. MO, huh... well theres a good chance I'll have to wait until Monday.

Edited to add - Holy crap Dan, did you touch the pages with your BARE hands? No GLOVES? Ahhhh, sacrilege!!!

Posted By: MikeReceived book today. It's a fantastic book. I can't imagine all the work it took to put this project from start to finish. I thank all of you and I only have a few Old Judges. Joe: One question - I didn't know that Gilligan (Detroit) existed in the 189-1 pose. Is this listed correctly in the book ? Thanks again, I think it is worth the price. Mike

Posted By: JayMike--Joe is away so let me answer for him. The pose exists as a Detroit N173; it is not known (according to the Cartophilic Listing) as an N172.
