The best thing I ever found in book store was copy of the Bucky Harris Story autographed by everybody on the team, including Walter Johnson, for $3.50. Unfortunately, I was only 16 at the time, and Goodwin Goldfadden soon talked me out of it.

Cool book, thanks for sharing.
I remember winning an REA auction of some D304s that were in spectacular condition. They were found in a book. It was about 32k for 4 of them, again, if I remember correctly. That was quite a bit at the time. I have gotten cards, several times over the years, from bookstore owners who found them in books. I think 1 of those cards in the book may be one I used to own too, unless it's the other one known! .

Incredible! That book was titled "Playing the Game" by Harris and is nearly impossible to find with a dust jacket in decent shape. How much did he give you for it?

I traded it for baseball cards, and Goodwin didn't put a very high a value on them, so I probably did OK.

Aniquarian
I found this one at an Antiquarian Book Fair quite a few years ago and got it graded shortly thereafter. At the time, SGC was the only TPG that could grade oversized cards.
