Ron Keurajian's HOF Autograph book

[Duluth Eskimo]

I think the book is well done and I learned from it. I cannot say that about too many reference books nowadays. I think it was worth my money. I will also agree with some of what people have already mentioned about detail, but there is only so much detail that can be explained. The book is generally written for the casual collector, not necassarily the expert collector. I do think that even the expert collector / dealer can learn from this book as well though.

I will also echo the comments about wishing there was more to it than HOF autographs. Not necessarily those players mentioned, but other early players. Bottom line, I think it is well done and I would buy it again if I had to do all over.

Remember one thing, this is a guide book. Like a price guide it provides a great service but it cannot be a be all and end all for autographs. As a post stated earlier that would require a 10 volume set.
I find the book to be very useful but my exemplar file, accumulated over many years, is what I rely on the most.

All I remember is that there was a ton of hype of it being the "Be All" book.

I purchased mine on Ebay for $20.00 and consider it somewhat of a reference book. Although I must admit, I haven't looked at it in long time.

I'm sure Mr. Keurajian put a lot of effort into writing his book, which I can appreciate.

It was a ton of work and he did a great job. In all likelihood, the best reference one could have short of the multi-volume set.

In my previous post I may have come off as critical, but I was just offering a counterbalance to some of the hyperbolic accolades.

Is it handy and informative and probably the best BB HOF Reference available? YES.

When the book is opened do Angels of Light shoot out and infuse you with autograph authentication omniscience? Probably not.

I recall certain parties, including one former member here, who were eagerly awaiting the release of this book because it was sure to rock the hobby and bring the TPAs to their knees. Did that happen?

I just picked it up for my iPad mini. My initial reaction is that it will be a nice addition to my reference guide collection and I am glad it will travel with me so easily.

I don't think we were being critical at all, Mr. Zipper, but maybe we are, and that's okay, too.

Bobby Poll put out a HOF autograph book a few years ago. I bought it and use it from time to time. LOTS of examples and shows changes in the players autograph over the years with dates. Pretty nice book for $30
