His book was replete with many factual errors about cards, sets, and, as others have mentioned reads like it was written by a 10 year old. His many stated 'accomplishments' seem dubious at best.
The paper is nice and shiny, though.

Yeaahhbuut waiiit. All the sizing is off. The T206 Wagner, for example, is bigger than a Topps Seaver rookie.

Err wait, are we saying they are all real (but trimmed) cards but sized randomly? I think I'm all kinds of confused.

Buy some ASA cards if you can still find any, break them out, resubmit them, and see how you do.

This will not end well Peter.....

I still have 2 Hager books, I remember I offered one to someone looking for one for $50 (I think that's how much Alan sold them for) and he said "nah, I'll pass"

$50 was the price for the book I had in my mind too. I was at a card show 25 or more years ago and was just slowly walking past his table when he came out from behind the table and corralled me into a minute or longer sales pitch. When I politely told him I would pass on purchasing the book, he huffily walked back to behind his table and seemed upset that I had the audacity to waste his time.
