DavidI'm with Bob on this one. While it's not true in many other other areas, most baseball card collectors, and despite whatever they may claim, are not really interested in learning how to identify fakes or authenticate-- at least not if it costs money or takes time/effort. My book relating to the subject sells well (for my standards not Krause's), but that's because it covers a wide variety of areas, not just trading cards.
I've owned Bob's book for several years (getting pretty beat up-- my book, not Bob), and still refer to it. It's entertaining too. When Bob told me that it wasn't coming out in another edition, I was surprised as it's such a nice book.
