Barry has company in town (I briefly spoke with him this morning) and is busy but I think it starts the day after the Mastro one ends....Hope this helps....regards

Hi all- I have Mark Rucker visiting this week, and we had a meeting today with Joe D. to discuss the mammoth baseball photography book that Mark is planning. He's still trying to find a way to feasibly make it work.

My auction starts August 31 at 9:00 AM. The site is scheduled to launch at that time. I will put a reminder on the board Friday morning. Thanks for asking.

...we had a meeting today with Joe D. ...

that sounds like some kind of code line used by the Marino family a decade ago

I just hope that the old thread on Net54 is referenced when it comes time to sell those books if they are going to be limited.

Dan- please refresh my memory. What was on the previous thread that you wanted referenced? I forgot what we were discussing. Thanks.

I think Dan's referring to the previous thread where a bunch of us pretty much committed to buying the book when/if it was published.

Greetings. Mark Rucker here, reporting that after our meeting today, some new possibilities have arisen, and despite daunting expenses, we continue to explore ways to produce The History of Baseball Through Photography. I wanted to elicit ideas for marketing and promotion from the publishing group, and we will be asking for key images from Network54 members' collections to make this the strongest product possible.
There will not be any more news about this project for a few months, as I am moving to British Columbia very shortly, and will be working from up there for a while. In the meantime, Barry can update you on progress, and specify images we will be looking for. Your help will be essential to the book, but that is natural, since your group is the essence of the hobby.

Hi Mark! Thanks for the update...I also noticed that you are mentioned by the new magazine "108" as their photo consultant and wanted to congratulate you on that. If anyone has not seen that magazine yet it is outstanding. It's the type of magazine that you will read every article.

Only 7 more hours! Hmm, to sleep or not to sleep?

I hear you, Trae. I tried registering for Barry's site last night and it wouldn't let me. I'll be signing up first thing after I wake up Friday.
