Bruce speaks:

This beautifully written, wonderfully illustrated book is for the
serious, intelligent collector. The focus is on the best of the best
-the rare- the noteworthy- and the historically important.

No error cards or discussion about prices or collectors who
are too rich for the envious, outspoken and under-educated-
rather a great story on America's game and people who
have dedicated their time, energy and resources to buidling
truly world class collections

And best of all, there are profiles with photos of the country's
great collectors---so you'll finally get to put a face to the
legend.

---------------------------------------------------

I am astonished by the over reaction to my comments about "snide commentary."

The point I was making is that so many people in the hobby are always commenting about prices or expressing jealously about upscale collectors.

I am all for capitalism and certainly believe that wealth is a wonderful attribute.
It is pleasure to see a book which focuses on historical significance rather than
the value of the cards.

I certainly had no intention to insult the wealthiest collectors--- though I must say it is delightful to read a book which is clear and articulate. And to read hobby and baseball history without the grammatical errors that permeate so many of the comments that I see in the hobby press and on the Board.

I aI would appreciate it if those who express paranoia
study the words before attempting to articulate their point of view.
