Pete, I will remember to "round up" the next time you buy from me.

I will try to add some other Beckett stuff later as I have a few old periodicals and ephemera of the company, in my collection hobby periodicals . I guess this is apropos here and is probably the "newest" card in my collection figuratively and technically.. Dr.Jim is a very nice person and one whom I have had the pleasure of speaking with on a few occasions. He has been a collector a long time and is obviously a pioneer in the hobby.

As I mentioned in my intro post last month, I have one of the few hardcover copies of the 1980 Sport Americana Baseball Card Price Guide (the second year it came out). I got it in about 1993 from Don Steinbach of the Sports Collectors Store in Chicago (actually in La Grange at the time), along with his copies of the other annual Sport Americana/Beckett guides through 1990. He said that Beckett had a few hardcover copies of the 1980 volume printed and sent to some prominent card dealers, including him.

Bill Dodge once told me the 1981 hardbacks were printed to 10. I believe that as I have known of only 2 in my collecting years.

The 1980 Hardbacks are a bit more available as they were sold that way but collectors using the book actually preferred the soft bound version because of how often those books were used in those days.

And Leon, I have a Rich Klein available from that same set you have featuring Dr. Beckett.
