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.
