I'll bump it to $6. Great book, I've owned 3-4 copies over the years--it made card collecting a whole new ballgame for me (so to speak). It was my first price guide/checklist, and the first copy was so worn and torn within a few months that I needed a backup. FYI, Stargell was one of the players on the second one-1980 Topps card.
Val, I'm pretty sure I have a copy of what you show too--mine are packed away in storage if they're with me at all anymore. Definitely cruder than the one for sale here, I'm not sure which came first but the one at auction here definitely came out during the baseball season of 1979 (when I bought mine) if not earlier. The other I acquired about 25 years later.
