warshawlawIMHO, a piece of crap. The prices are useless as is Hager's semi-literate commentary (Lipset doesn't write pretty, but he is coherent, unlike this dude), which leaves only the checklists and pics. Bob Lemke does a much better job of checklisting, so all that is left are the pics. If you can get it for a buck or two, worth a laugh, I guess, but not to be taken seriously as a work of reference. And yes, the Purdy expose is one of the true classics of VCBC reporting. That plus his (in)famous article on PSA got me into writing on cards and exposing issues in the SMR, grading services and Broadway Rick's in later VCBC issues.
