Bob LemkeEric, You're describing the "SCD Sportscard Counterfeit Detector". Three editions were produced between 1991 and 1994. Eevery known counterfeit was pictured (with extreme close-up comparisons between genuine and fake) and described. At the time the book was current there were around 25,000 card shops in the country and who knows how many hundreds of thousands of collectors. Despite the fact this $20 book could save a person hundreds or thousands by avoiding a fake card, we could never sell 5,000 copies. We still occasionally run new counterfeit reports in SCD, but a book is apparently not commercially viable.
