4-Sport Hall of Fame Rookie Cards Guide

[bcbgcbrcb]

Due to the lack of interest from all but one of the potential advertisers that I have contacted regarding the 4-Sport Guide, it does not appear that the books will be going to print anytime soon. As it stands right now, my printing costs will exceed my sale price of the guide. This means I would have to increase the sale price per copy to around $50.00 rather than my planned price of $34.95 just to make a few bucks, otherwise it will not be worthwhile for me to produce them. In my opinion, that is too high of a price point and will discourage too many potential buyers from making the purchase.

I apologize to all of those people who were looking forward to purchasing copies, believe me, I am just as disappointed as you are, if not more. I was hoping to garner more support from within the industry but it's not forthcoming at this time.

Hi Phil. Are you self publishing this book?

Yes, Jeff, I am.

I think it would be difficult for prospective advertisers to shell out hundreds of bucks to advertise to only 100 people. So despite interest in your guide, it's probably not going to get advertisers at those rates without printing in the 10,000s.

John:

I have a proof of the book currently in production right now. In the past, I have brought a book proof to the National and had success walking the show and selling the ads once people have a chance to see what the finished product looks like. Unfortunately, this year, I am relocating to another state during the month of July and won't be able to make the National so very bad timing on my part. I am just trying to do the best I can with what I have to work with. I have also been out of work for nearly a year now since I had some serious health issues and don't have the extra money to spend on a trip to Chicago either.
