New Baseball Card Book Just Published

[onlychild]

do have to tell you there is a chapter near the end about our own Kevin Saucier that will give anyone who collects high grade slabbed cards a good case of the heebie jeebies.

Had to be the unflattering picture made while recovering from surgery #1 and two days before surgery #2. Was fubar during our time together.

To top it off, Dave Jamieson is just an all around nice guy and a terrific human being...smart, humble, inquisitive with strong writing ethics. Every collector will learn something from it. After reading my copy, I realized my true hobby ignorance. Even a better reason to buy the book.

Kevin- I enjoyed the chapter about you a lot. There's even a color picture of you in the book. Dave interviewed me over the phone and he was a gentleman. And he writes really well. This book isn't a hack job but a very careful and well written look at our hobby. Possibly it's the best book of its kind.

Kevin- does "fubar" mean something? One of our members has that as his username, and I have no idea what it means.

Barry,

Many thanks Barry, tried my best to make it an accurate and informative interview without it being a tell-all. As I've always said, tough to do with that subject. Dave must of had a hard time writing that chapter, deciding what to print and what to hold back. When I saw the rough copy...he nailed it the first time!

I'm reading it for the third time. Seems I always catch something new or missed.

Yeah I saw the pic..not the best by far. FUBAR = F'ed up Beyond All Recognition. We used it in the military, plus it was made popular in Saving Private Ryan as well.

SNAFU = Situation Normal, All F'ed Up
TARFU = Things Are Really F'ed Up
FUBAR = F'ed Up Beyond All Recognition

I can't say on the board...it's x-rated. It was a joke.
