About The Author
After a 30-year career as a sports journalist for newspapers such as the Los Angeles Herald Examiner and the Orange County Register, Bill Froloff decided to turn his lifelong hobby of collecting baseball cards, autographs, and souvenirs into a full-time pursuit, and in June 2002, he opened his own business, 65 Mustang Sports, buying and selling sports memorabilia.
Bill prides himself on being one of eBay¿s ¿founding¿ sellers, buying and trading on the website long before it became newsworthy and fashionable. 65 Mustang Sports now sells to thousands of satisfied customers and hundreds of repeat buyers on eBay and is in their top 1 percent of sellers in the sports memorabilia category. Bill currently resides in Rancho Santa Margarita, California with his wife and three children.
Reader Reviews
This book will tell you absolutely nothing you can't learn for free by reading the eBay tutorials and looking at couple of sports card message boards (beckett, sportscardsheriff, etc). The information presented is of the most basic nature and is repeated many times, often on the same page. It became quite obvious after reading the first two chapters that the author was struggling to "pad" the page count of this book. I am not an expert in sports collecting by any means, in fact I just started this year. However, if you just follow the advice in my first paragraph, you will have acquired the knowledge in this book many times over. If you're still not convinced, go to your local bookstore and flip through this book, you'll see what I mean fairly quickly.
