Looking forward to it. Looks like the trade edition is available in July, according to their website.

Mine just arrived and I am trying feverishly to finish up stuff so I can crack it open.

I have been collecting cards and memorabilia for over 40 years and in the last few years, photos have become more interesting to me than cards. I wonder if that has happened to other long time collectors?

To me a card of, say, Christy Mathewson is cool - but the right photo of him is cooler; probably because the card images I am so used to seeing but the photo could be unique or rarely seen. I'm seeing the player in a new light versus the usual card images.

Anyway, good review JC! I know I am going to enjoy finally understanding what's behind collecting bb photos.

One of the greatest hobby books ever produced in my opinion.

The incredible photos alone are more than worth the price of admission.

Thanks for the kind words. The Limited Signed Edition will be available in early June and the Trade Edition in early July. I will be at the National with copies of each. A more formal announcement will be made in the next couple of weeks when the site is ready to receive pre-orders. Those kind enough to contribute to the book have, or shall soon, have their Advance Review Copies. For everyone else, I appreciate your patience and hope the wait will be worth your while! In the meantime, I'll at least crack open the covers for you.

I agree with all of the other early reviews. It is definitely one of the great hobby books. It has the quality of a top notch coffee-table type book and should be a staple in any vintage baseball memorabilia collector's library.
