Received an exciting email today about a project to publish the personal histories of the players featured in the T206 set. The book, entitled The T206 Collection: The Players and Their Stories, is scheduled for release in April 2010. From the email:
"Along with beautiful pictorials and card images, the reader will have information on the personal and professional stats on each player, as well as a little narrative on the players' contribution to our National Pastime. Players like Lena Blackburne and Freddy Parent made huge contributions to the game of baseball, and now their story is being told."
The book was created by Tom Zappala of ATS Communications along with Joe Orlando, President of PSA and Peter Randall Publishing.
Look for it soon!

Nap Rucker Finally Comes Home To Roost
I've had a few different chances at this card -- when it sold on ebay for under $100, I passed on it because I didn't see the signature very well. When it turned out to be authentic, I passed on it again from a different collector, who opted to list it in Huggins and Scott. When it sold there, it sold to a higher bidder than me, when it's price tag seemed, well, unreasonable to me. But I finally came up with the right trade bait and NOW IT IS MINE! Hoorah!
