I guard my 1848 page 2011 SCD Standard Catalog, the last one with post 1980 listings. I do not like CDS or digital downloads. I am really old

Orlando,

Congratulations on the 1953 Stahl Meyer Mantle. I got mine (PSA 2 (MK) a year or so ago. That card and the 1960 Post Cereal Mantle are my two favorite Mantle cards. 1959 Bazooka is a close third.

I haven't pulled the trigger on buying Brian's book (CD) yet, but I should. I'm sure it would be filled with information and pictures on the above three issues as well as many more, such as 1954 Dan Dee, 1954 Red Heart, etc.

Brian, you can pull the PDF, so you should be able to either send it as an attachment to an email (depending on size) or put it on an FTP site (drop box?) where someone can retrieve a copy. It beats driving to the post office.

I love my copy--I printed mine off and now have it in hard copy--and it's a fantastic book.

Oh, and gorgeous Stahl Meyer!

Chris, glad to finally hear from you, even if indirectly. You made my day---I really needed to hear at least a few of your feelings on NEVER CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN.

My post office is less than a mile away, but I appreciate the advice. Perhaps one day, but I would like to sell the remaining copies of the 1,000 I had printed in the first place.

Give me a buzz some time Chris. Let's talk! ---Brian

David, All the issues you mention are covered in a chapter, except the Red Heart. I had to draw the line somewhere; however, I devoted several pages to the beautiful Red Hearts in my conclusion chapter, and reveal why I chose not to give it the full chapter treatment. Nothing really negative, believe me.

Anyways, David, the ball is now in your court---you shan't be sorry, bro.

All the best, your pal, Brian Powell

Ah, come on, Al! A few years back, I would have turned my nose up on such a notion as a book on a CD. This old dinosaur adapted to a CD book very smoothly. It's easy. It works---beautifully!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I get the feeling collectors want things their way, or no way, as at a fast food joint. If they could hear their words and the tone of how they're coming across. Whilst I truly understand and can commisserate to a point, a collector must understand we are living in a changing world where our hobby is considered a thing of the past, not to mention chock full of opportunistic crooks. Publishers "ain't" interested in feeding us printed books about our subject.

So, when a book truly devoted to our a hobby and a great period of time in card production and collecting finally comes along, but it's on a CD, and said collectors bellyache as Curly did in ALL THE WORLD'S A STOOGE, "I don't like spinach!", it's all I can do not to spit back with, "It's time you start living with your thumb out of yo' mouth!"

Ooh, I guess I said it anyway.

Well, Al, you think about it. I know thirty smackers is not the issue with you. As I've told many others, I shan't think for a moment you will be disappointed.

Perhaps you can ask your friend Jacqueline Bisset her advice on the matter.

I lucked out (or at least I think I did?) on 3 low end 52 Topps cards likely for the same reason?

Figured, being since all 3 were slabbed,(and I needed them) that I likely spent less on them than what it cost the person to get them graded?
