A Book Every Board Member Is Sure To Treasure

He just took pictures of select items from my collection. Each collector had a focus to his collection, and Stephen tried to take select items which represented this focus. When I saw Stephen this past weekend at the celebratory dinner, he spent some time explaining to me the tremendous time and effort (in some cases several hours) that went into the planning and execution of some of the shots. Viewed from that perspective, some of the background for some of the items (e.g., the Cracker Jack cards nestled among actual crackerjacks, the vintage Yankee greats jerseys hung on a rod in a closet, the T206 cards interspersed among an opened T206 pack) are sensational. I also was very impressed with the way the book was laid out -- inserting the illustrations of the various artifacts within the text of the essays, as opposed to making them separate plates on succeeding pages.
