  • Some oldies, but goodies...finding "your" buried treasure is the basis of collecting! This book will give you a nudge!
Wow - even though this book is 7-8 years old, the content still feels fresh! This book gives you some historical perspective of cards, memorabilia and autographs and the story behind these treasures! It also provides you with an idea of the "holy grail" of collectibles whether, cards, signed baseballs, game used bats, autographs, etc.! If you enjoy chasing the signature of your favorite player or collecting graded cards on a more professional scale, this book will not disappoint as it provides a wealth of knowledge from Joe Orlando, President of PSA, who has incredible insight on these topics! You will spend hours reading and leafing through the numerous pages of amazing illustrations, pictures and written content! ... show more

  • Perfrect gift for collector/friend
I have a friend who is one of those people who has everything and is very hard to shop for. He recently started buying sports collectibles off of e-bay, and I bought this for him as a birthday gift. He loves it and has even commented to me a couple of times since his birthday how much enjoyment and use he is getting out of it. The book is both useful for people getting into the hobby, and a nice picture/coffee table book. ... show more
