I never appreciated the set very much in my 15 year journey "back in the Hobby". That said, I changed my mind and nowe I love them. I wish wish I would have taken my own advice and "bought what I didn't like".
I purchased the book a few months ago and find it very easy to read. Not sure why I haven't finished it but maybe I'll have some time to knock it out next week at the Ontario card show.
Ted was such an asset to the card collecting community on this board. He is sorely missed. His Bond Bread thread making a comeback tells you everything you need to know about the issue. Too bad the grading companies can't figure it out.
I am honored to own a 52 Topps Mickey Mantle that crossed his path that was opened up and enjoyed by his best friend back in 1952!
Thanks for writing the book and help to stir up that passion in card collectors
