Stirling Sports Card Catalog

Regarding Dave's comment about getting some of these guides, et al, scanned and available. Actually, earlier today I was contacted by another member of this forum about getting the Gum and Candy Card Handbook in pdf form for easy emailing to interested parties. We briefly discussed the issue of copyright. I said I would post a message here for the lawyers on the board. Here is what it says:

"Published by Sports Collectors' News

Reproduction of this handbook for sale in its entirety or any part or checklist without the premission of the copyright holder is expressly forbidden, Reproduction not for sale is permissable without the sonsent of the copyright holder provided the Handbook is quoted as a source."

Re the last part, the intent as I interpret it, is that parts, as opposed to all, of the Handbook could be reproduced since it asks to be quoted as a source.

I pick up just about every card reference book that I run across, but have never run across Egan's book. Do these ever turn up for sale? Is there a .pdf version available? Thanks in advance.

I think the Egan book is the one being asked about. I sold a Stirling book and already had one for myself....I have an Egan one, thanks to Frank W., but I only have the one...Not sure I have seen one for sale either.

After looking at this thread I dug my copy out and leafed through it. It's pretty neat, I picked it up at "Johnny Sports Nostalgia" in Anderson, IN in the early 80's as a wee little tyke.

It is indeed the Egan book that I am asking about. I picked up the Stirling book several years ago at Midway used books in Minneapolis. Would love to have a copy of the Egan book if anyone has one available. I'd be excited to get an electronic copy in lieu of the original paper version, if anyone has a file that they would care to pass on as well.
