3.0 out of 5 stars Warman's Sports Memorabilia, January 10, 2002

By	Carole Londeree (Forest Grove, Oregon United States) - See all my reviews

One thing that is not immediately obvious is the year published.
I was a little dissappointed that the information I was given did not include the fact that it was a 2000 issue and not 2001.
