Wow.........fantastic effort..........just a cursory glance at it almost made me take a 1/2 day from work today!

Hopefully the three authors will be participating in the autograph pavillion at this year's National......

and posted in the relevant thread on BST
please take a look

thanks!

I didn't even think about an autographed copy...now I want mine autographed (although not authenticated)...I hope my book is waiting for me at home today...

Tom prolly has some perks with UPS so he gets his packages a day quicker than the rest of us.

I WISH that were the case. Ideally, I guess I could intercept the pacakge in our Worldport hub here that about a million pkgs go through a night but I'd have to drag my sorry ass out in the middle of the night to pick it up and ride a triple decker bus in about a mile or two and it'd be majorly illegal to do something like that to. So....just got lucky. Had it shipped to my UPS Store postal box and it was there when I picked up the mail today.

At the risk of looking foolish, where in the BST is the book listed?  I could not find

 

Marty

It would have been worth it though right?

I'm going to guess since you live right by the hub I'm not going to get mine until Monday. I'll be jonesing all weekend!

No need to jones over the weekend. OJ book has arrived.

I REPEAT OJ BOOK HAS ARRIVED.

Nice work fellas!

Where did the book ship from? This will tell me if mine arrives today or next week.

Thanks

Fred, mine shipped from RR Donnelly in Jefferson City, MO.

Dangit, mine didn't come today. Now I'm going to be bitter and angry all night.

Mine has not arrived yet.

Could someone scan/photograph a page or two of the book and post it. I've been considering buying one, but lack the intestinal fortitude to pay the $125 sight unseen.

Anthony, if I get some time in the next few hours I may do so....I just barely got through skimming the first 50 or so pages and I'm knocked out...Some of those California League cards I've not seen before and they are awesome.

for some inexplicable reason i did not order a copy and now i'm kicking myself. Is it possible to order a copy now and how do i go about doing that?

Anthony- I was fortunate to be able to view the proofs a few months back, and I will say this: imagine the best you might expect the book to be, and it will surpass that. It is jaw-dropping, both the pictures and the text.

Someone dropped the box it came in and lowered the technical grade, with a corner ding, down to a:

Pro- 10
PSA- 5
Beckett- 4
SGC- 2
GAI- *will know more on Monday


seriously, even my wife says it's awesome. Nice job by 3 of our most respected board members, Joe G, Jay M, and Richard M.....

Okay, Dan and Barrys' word(s) cinch it. I join Ernest in wondering/hoping I can still order a copy.

Can someone post a scan?

I don't actually read baseball books, but base my purchasing decisions as to how good the book looks on my bookshelf

Here are a few photos from the book...if the authors object to this I will take them down.

Wow. That is truly amazing.

This book is a dream for a dork like me.

Dan,



THANK YOU!!!



Just seeing those pages put an ear to ear grin on my face. MO, huh... well theres a good chance I'll have to wait until Monday. If they sold this book in the book stores I'd have been the first one in line to get it at my local Borders... I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Edited to add - Holy crap Dan, did you touch the pages with your BARE hands? No GLOVES? Ahhhh, sacrilege!!!

If anyone would like to order a copy,
send $125 to
Richard Masson

Santa Monica, CA 90403

Just in case anyone needs to know.

That looks great! Now I'm even more sad that mine isn't here yet

You're sad? My network at work screens out most jpgs on net54, and I can't even see the photos of the book until I get home

Max

Does it come in a slipcase?

Received book today. It's a fantastic book. I can't imagine all the work it took to put this project from start to finish. I thank all of you and I only have a few Old Judges.

Joe: One question - I didn't know that Gilligan (Detroit) existed in the 189-1 pose. Is this listed correctly in the book ?

Thanks again, I think it is worth the price.
Mike

Mike--Joe is away so let me answer for him. The pose exists as a Detroit N173; it is not known (according to the Cartophilic Listing) as an N172.

Could someone please scan the page/s on Abner Dalrymple and send them to me. I do not collect OJ's, but he was from my neck of the woods and would love to see what there is on him. Many many thanks. Douglas

Looks like a heck of a resource!
