The Modern Hobby Guide To Topps Chewing Gum: 1938-1956

[toppcat]

Well my long term project has been completed and The Modern Hobby Guide To Topps Chewing Gum: 1938-1956 is now available for a free color download or online viewing at: http://www.scribd.com/doc/126643197/...m-1938-to-1956 This is a comprehensive history, homage and price guide of all things Topps.

There is also a companion blog for the Guide: http://themodernhobbyguide.blogspot.com/ This will be where updates, corrections, news etc will be archived. I am encouraging readers to send me such corrections and updates as they encounter them. You will see versions 1.0 and 1.1 have already been issued-these were trial runs and version 1.2 as hosted there is the current one. Many more images will be added there for the sets and ephemera covered in the guide. That part of the project will take some time.

A print on demand version in B&W will follow at some point, probably on lulu.com. I have to fix some issues with the checklists before I am comfortable with a print version.

This Topps Archives blog will still be active as well but I am going to reduce my posting frequency to about once per week. Topps Archives will focus more and more on post 1956 issues as I start to contemplate my next project.

Unfortunately Blogger is not letting me add elements to my pages right now but there will be prominent links to the Guide on both blogs once they get over their technical issues.

Enjoy!
