1962 post baseball book update

[keepmeposted]

Colleagues -- Dan Mabey here. I am putting the final touches on the 2025 edition of BRAGGING RIGHTS. My goal is to get the update to the printer by the middle of March.

I WOULD LIKE YOUR THOUGHTS ON BOOK BINDING. In speaking to Ken Marks, he offered that he preferred to have the pages unbound, i.e. no spiral or cloth binding. As a collector, I can appreciate his logic. The idea is you can more easily flip through or selectively pull out sections that are of particular interest. It would also make it easier to reproduce pages that hobbyists would insert in their Post card want lists. This would also help if you are trying to assemble a master set.

In the case of BRAGGING RIGHTS, the 200 page monograph includes childhood recollections, newsprint articles, promotional items and TV stills, product-to-player tables, scarcity analysis, and complete panel checklists, images, and detailed written descriptions of variations.

I value your thoughts. After all, my books have been created for your enjoyment. [P.S. I just discovered a hilarious error in the production of the 1962 Post Mickey Mantle TV commercial. The prop man gave Mickey a 1961 Alpha-Bits box with the prior year's card panel. Jimmy and his beach girlfriend got the correct 1962 mock-up for the close-up shot. On the other hand, Roger Maris received the proper 1962 Post mock-up. I guess that makes Roger's commercial "a little bit better". ]
