Author Says: Great Book -- But Verrrry Outdated

Hello. I'm Donn Pearlman, author of Collecting Baseball Cards, and I appreciated all the wonderful response when it was first published in 1987, and a subsequent follow up edition two years later. Not a price guide, it was the first major "how to" book about baseball cards in many years when it was first published. But it has not been updated since then, and yes, it is verrry outdated in many respects. The information and advice about learning all you can about cards BEFORE purchasing still is valid; so's the info about encouraging readers to learn about card grading. But there's no info about the Internet, the many card companies that have come and gone since 1989, and other information that would be needed to make the book much more useful in the 21st century. Because of other professional commitments, I do not have plans at this time to write an updated version. Happy collecting all, -donn- Donn Pearlman
