Although I'm far from devastated, it's quite sketchy that Barnes & Noble would feign lack of product to get people to cancel (March 13th and again to confirm for a 30 delay or lose your order on March 14th), then start shipping the 15th, obviously it was all BS...
I have to think SOMEBODY (who does not know better) is going to buy an non-autographed version of HOTHEAD, send it in for an auto and give it to someone as a gift ... thinking they are giving something unique!
STAY HEALTHY!

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
I placed two orders and they arrived safely yesterday and today. I was hoping it would say autographed edition somewhere so you would not have to get it authenticated. Oh well, still a great deal.

More important to collectors is there all first editions, thats where the money's at,, depending how many 1st print editions there were,,, the fewer the better,,, j
I received my book yesterday. I plan on getting Doran to make a cut auto for me. It's going to have to be a much larger card because of the size of the autograph.
I don't know if anyone else has seen, but there are quite a few for sale on ebay. Most are $24.99 for auto 1st edition. One person is asking $19.99, and another person is asking $99.99(he's crazy).
I would like to personally thank Tedw9 for turning us onto the site to get ours for $9.99. I bought a dozen and have already given 5 away as gifts, and my friends love them.
Thanks again to Tedw9!!!!!!!!!!!

Your very welcome! I'm glad it all worked out and they were signed by Cal. I would have felt horrible if they had been signed by the other guy!
<< <i>Found this on another site and thought I would share with all of you. Cal Ripken is putting out a kids story about baseball. Barnes and Nobel has the autographed edition for $9.17. One person said they called B&N and they confirmed it is autographed by Cal. That's a steal for a Cal autograph.
And even if it turns out to not be signed, your only out $10 or so. I took the chance and ordered one and thought others may want to take that $10 risk also.

That is a VERY funny thought.

I'm glad I could hook up my friends.

I only bought one and so glad I did. Never had a Cal auto before. One of these days, I'll actually read the book too

Cal Ripken's Hothead on B&N >>
Thanx for posting this offer Steve!
A great addition to my auto book collection.

it does not look that bad in the slab... and I think psa is running a blue flip special right now.
Currently collecting 1934 Butterfinger, 1969 Nabisco, 1991 Topps Desert Shield (in PSA 9 or 10), and 1990 Donruss Learning Series (in PSA 10).

I agree

I don't care for what was done.
It's hard to believe someone would pay 80 bucks for that - but I might be wrong?
I was just thinking again - it's a shame these copies weren't affixed with a sticker: "auto copy"
