The book.. The Card... again..... sorry...
 

Posted By: <b>Chuck P</b><p>A buddy gave me a copy of the book. When I read some of the threads about it this summer I was a bit turned off. When I searched and read up a little yesterday, I had a hard time determining who had read it before commenting and who hadn't. So ................<br /><br />For those who have read all or some of it at least:<br /><br />1. Are there major errors in it? What are they?<br /><br />2. Is there speculation put forth as fact that some have a problem with?<br /><br />3. Any other criticisms?<br /><br />My collecting habits are on the very low end of the spectrum grade-wise. My collection is probably about .5% graded and 99.5% raw. Might I be inclined to enjoy the book more than those who focus on high end graded card?<br /><br />TIA,<br /><br />Chuck

The book.. The Card... again..... sorry...
 

Posted By: <b>Steve Murray</b><p>I read it, enjoyed it, and didn't find any particular glaring errors. I would recommend it as an easy read. <br /><br />I collect cards graded SGC exclusively though I have a few raw floating around here somewhere.

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>I think I'm a similar collector to you, Chuck. I recently got back into the hobby, and am working on a mid-grade HOF collection. I just read The Card, and really loved it. There's a lot of information that many of the posters on this site undoubtedly already know, but for newbies, and collectors with more modest (read: "my wife is never going to approve the purchase of a high-grade Ruth/Cobb/Mantle/etc.") goals, The Card is an interesting, and even -- dare I say it? -- inspiring read.
