Basketball card collecting book review
My reason for getting this book was completely mercenary. I was hoping to get in on what I thought was a new and untapped area of trading card collectibles. But I quickly discovered on reading Bonner's very interesting and informative book that basketball card collecting is already an established hobby, in which I wasn't about to make some quick dollars off some kid holding a Michael Jordan rookie card he didn't know what to do with. (That card goes for, oh, $3,000.) But after those initial dreams were deflated, I settled in for a good read. Bonner has a style that makes even a cold subject such as "Price Guides" come off with a lively flair. What I especially liked about the book is that while he describes in detail the surprisingly long history of basketball card production (Murad Cigarette Company started it all in 1911), the reader simultaneously gets a narrative on the development of basketball itself in the U.S., and its key players through the years.

A Must-Have for any collection
This book is a wonderful portrait of a proffesional baseball pitcher. This book is a great biography for sports lovers--or just for people who love great writing. The book focuses on Johnson's baseball career; from the time he was enrolled in USC with a full baseball scholarship, right up to 1998, when he switches teams and becomes an Arizona Diamondback. After reading this book, I feel like I know Johnson personally. I reccomend this book to anybody.

Excellent introduction into the life of a sport superstar.
This book is an excellent introduction for young people into the life of a basketball superstar. It doesn't speak down to them or sugar-coat the flaws in character that normally fill adolescent literature. I wanted to get a book for my nephew for Christmas, but found myself immersed in the writing of this one. . Kemp came off as much more three dimensional than I would have expected. Plenty of pictures, although I would have preferred more variety. Many of them seem to be action shots from the same game. And, I want to stress this is young adult literature,so don't expect Joyce. But, I was very impressed with it on the level it was, and would recommend it for any youngster. My nephew liked it.

Good Book But Price Guide Is Outdated
This book contains an excellent history of football cards. Anyone collecting football cards should own a copy of this book. However, ignore the price guide at the back of the book. The book is several years old and the price guide is outdated. Do not expect to buy the cards listed in the price guide for those prices. Otherwise, an excellent history book of football cards.

Finally an expert
It was great to hear from a guy who really know cards! I have enjoyed reading about the cards I have and the ones I want.
