A Colorful, Well-Written Hoop Hobby Guide

COLLECTING BASKETBALL CARDS by Thomas S. Owens comes from The Millbrook Press as a colorful, well-written basketball card hobby guide. This 80-page library-style hardback is perfect for the younger collector and has more than 50 full color card illustrations inside to accompany the 10 relatively short chapters of text. Mr. Owens is excellent at condensing complex hobby issues into just a paragraph or two. He also gives many good tips on how to buy cards for the best possible price and laments, as almost all hobby observers do, about the recent incredible proliferation of dubious insert sets. I did not come across Mr. Owens' book until well after the chapters that comprise my own basketball card collecting book had already appeared in SPORTS COLLECTORS DIGEST from 1996 to 1998. But I was pleased at the generally similar approach both of our books take to this fascinating pastime. I own a copy of Mr. Owens' book and believe it belongs in most public and school libraries, as well as in the personal library of any serious basketball card hobbyist. It is accurate, informative, and exceptionally attractive.--Mike Bonner, author of COLLECTING BASKETBALL CARDS, A Complete Guide with Prices.
