Purchase "The T206 Collection: The Players & Their Stories" for a good cause!

A good book about the players, but the pictures of the cards themselves are a waste of space since they are just phony looking reprints. But I'll overlook that and buy for this great cause.

Why is it that everyone who makes a T206 "something" often feels the need to use images from mint reprints? I agree it would be a lot more authentic to use real cards of varying grades/conditions.

Nevertheless, I already bought the book and love it. Great cause.

Tom & Ellen would like to extend their thanks to all who have helped the cause:

We have been overwhelmed with stories from people who are either diabetic or have relatives who are diabetic.The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation does great work, and we are thrilled to be partnering with them. We have been getting requests from all over the country. The entire collectibles community has stepped up to the plate. We are proud of our book, but more proud of the fact that we are all making a contribution to finding a cure for diabetes.

Thanks again,and a happy Holiday to all.People are out of work and many are struggling. However, good people always manage to support a cause.

Thanks again,

I did a quick flip through and it is nicely laid out. I agree that using originals over reprints would have been more authentic, but can't argue with the concept. Plus it was a nice way to help a good cause...happy holidays!!!

Now my wife can't complain that it's hard to find me anything for Christmas.

Received my copy this past week and am looking forward to reviewing it in more detail, looks great already.

Was a good day at the mailbox, also received an autographed copy of "The Black Aces" by Jim "Mudcat Grant, who I had the opportunity to meet on a flight out of LA into Detroit last summer.

Looking forward to reading both.
