My take on Michael O'Keeffe's book, "The Card"

Posted By: Boccabella

A card like this transcends the hobby. It's a piece of Americana--something even those with little or no knowledge of cards or the hobby have at least a passing familiarity. If it were purely a book aimed at collectors, there would be no chapters on Wagner himself, his house, the various personalities involved in ownership, etc. The card enthusiasts are a target market, but that's a small number compared to those who will actually read it.
