Review

Tom Owens, a columnist for Sports Collectors Digest, has written a thoughtful, step-by-step guide to collecting sports autographs. Advice is given on such subjects as building a collection, collecting by mail, and protecting and storing collections. Interesting profiles are provided of "star" collectors. All in all, a nice book for the young or mature hobbyist. -- From Independent Publisher

4.0 out of 5 stars I think this book depicts the positive aspects of autographs, July 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Collecting Sports Autographs: Fun and Profit from This Easy-To-Learn Hobby (Paperback)

I purchased this book about 2 years ago at a Barnes and Noble store and thought it was very informative and could guide any autograph collector in the right direction of autograph collecting. It depicts the positive aspects of autograph collecting. Not like Bryant Gumble depicts them on HBO. He seems to think that there are no real autographs on the market. It is true that there are forges but with some of Tom's tips in this book one can surpass forgeries and aim towards a 100% authentic collection.
