I think this book depicts the positive aspects of autographs
I purchased this book about 2 years ago at a Barnes and Noble store and thought it was very informative and could guide any autograph collector in the right direction of autograph collecting. It depicts the positiveaspects of autograph collecting. Not like Bryant Gumble depicts them onHBO. He seems to think that there are no real autographs on the market. Itis true that there are forges but with some of Tom's tips in this book onecan surpass forgeries and aim towards a 100% authentic collection. ... Read more

The Checklist to find your favorite basketball players cards
Of course Beckett puts out what is pretty much considered the definitive price guide for basketball cards, which is also the place to go to if you are looking for a complete list of all the cards in a given year that you are working on (I am currently trying to finish both a 1971-72 Topps and the Fleer 1986-87). I do not have a particular need for the "Beckett Basketball Card Alphabetical Checklist, Volume 1," but I can appreciate that there are collectors who would value this book, namely those who simply want to collect all of the cards for their favorite players. True, this was a lot easier to do in the days or yore when there was just one major basketball card company producing cards each year. Now look at how many dozens of cards there are each year for a Kobe Bryant or a LeBron James. You might have been luck if your favorite player is Jerry West or Magic Johnson, but then most dealers are going to have star cards in a separate place in their stores or at shows. Read more

Krause's Basketball Card Price Guide Wins Out
The 2000 STANDARD CATALOG OF BASKETBALL CARDS 3RD EDITION from Krause Publications wins out as the best major basketball card compendium. With over 100,000 individual cards priced and featuring over 800 sets, theKrause book is well-organized, well-written, and very well done overall. Asa basketball card hobbyist and writer, I find myself turning to the Krausebook first whenever I have a nagging question about a particular card orset. The prices throughout are as fresh as an annual guide can list them.Moses Malone's rookie card, for example, is just about right at $50 in nearmint. Besides covering the basic card information on professional starsthat every collector desires in a price guide, the Krause book takes theextra step of including such exotic international sets as the AustralianFutera, as well as including a wide variety of college, high school, andfigurine cards. The price guide for certified cards is also a worthyfeature. The large page size of the 2000 STANDARD CATALOG gives the B&Wphotos inside good clarity and the prices are listed in a clean, easilyreadable typeface. Rookie cards of players are in italics, which makespicking them out much less difficult. Long time collectors of basketballcards find the 2000 STANDARD CATALOG a delight to use. Practically the onlydrawback editors should correct in future editions is the omission of a fewkey sets. For example, it would be good to include the first basketballcards, the 1911 Murads, as well as obscure minor issue cards as the 1972Allentown Jets. Otherwise, from courtside to rafters and from pillar topost, Krause's 2000 STANDARD CATALOG does an outstanding job of pricing thehoop hobby's peerless products.--Mike Bonner, author of COLLECTINGBASKETBALL CARDS, A Complete Guide With Prices. ...
