Hi everyone,

For those who don't recognize my username from other trade boards, my name is Jon Waldman and I'm a writer from Winnipeg, Manitoba.

I wanted to reach out to collectors here for some assistance on a project I am working on - a book about the top 100 sports cards in the history of the hobby.

Joe Orlando has been gracious and shared many images with me from the PSA archives, and has allowed me to solicit other card images here.

I have a list of needs available which I will post this evening, but if anyone wants to contact me directly in the interim who can help, my email is jonwaldman@shaw.ca.

The images I'm looking for would need to be high resolution scans, around 300 dpi, and come from all four of the big sports, plus a couple boxing and golf cards.

Thank you everyone, I look forward to interacting with everyone here.

Sincerely,
Jon Waldman

    Any royalties being paid for this? Just kidding. Good luck.

    Hey guys, thanks for the (mostly) positive response so far image

    The book is slated to hit shelves in April 2011. It's been a pet project of mine and my co-authors for a good 5 years or so!
