PSA Collectors Club Update – Collecting Sports Legends

To all of our loyal PSA customers,

I want to personally apologize for the delay in receiving your copy of our 2008 book – Collecting Sports Legends.

As many of you know, one of the benefits of joining the PSA Collectors Club – as of June 15, 2008 – is that each member will receive a copy of this 376-page, full color and hardbound book. The book is also being used in a variety of other ways and will be available for purchase in bookstores and on websites.

After experiencing a lengthy and unanticipated delay, a large shipment of our books finally arrived about a week ago. The bottom line is that the quality of the printing, or lack thereof, was simply unacceptable. In turn, we declined the shipment.

Our staff has worked too hard on this project and, more importantly, we did not want to send our great customers a product that was sub par in our opinion.

The publisher has assured us that the new printer will be able to produce what we contracted for, a book of exceptional quality.

The bad news is that the delay will continue until around the first of the year. Assuming that this new print run is acceptable, PSA will immediately begin mailing the books at that time.

The good news is that anyone who has signed up for the PSA Collectors Club since June 15, 2008, will receive the book.

We are excited about using this book to help attract new collectors to our wonderful hobby and help active collectors expand their horizons. We certainly hope you enjoy it.

I really appreciate your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

Joe Orlando
President

    I appreaciate you laying it on the line like you did, Even though I have been really looking forward to the book I would have been dissapointed if the printing was subpar. Im glad you guys are concerned about the quality though and I will look forward to getting it once its ready.

    There are lots of pics Randy so don't worry.

    It has sections on cards, auto's, packs and photos. It is a coffee table style book and if I am not mistaken the book weighs a few pounds.

    Believe me; we really are disappointed that we couldn't use them.

    Yes. Everyone who is joining (new or renew) is on a back order list so the books will be sent when they come in.

    Instead of trashing or recycling the bad print editions, they could be sold at Barnes Noble in the 80% discount section.

    I don't know the fate of the other books. I just know that we aren't accepting them.

    I actually signed up for the COllectors Club at the National in Chicago and was given a book at that time. I can tell everyone the wait will be worth it. The book is very well done. Actually exceptional in my opinion. I use it almost daily to learn more about prospective cards I might want to acquire, as I am new to vintage cards.

    I am quitting the hobby because of the delay!
