Message:: [QUOTE="Conder101, post: 487093, member: 66"]Third Party Grading/Certification Companies & Slab/Certificate Varieties  published in 2003 and has been out of print for about 3 years. The book listed the companies (82 of them), what I know about them, and when they were in operation.  Then it listed all of the varieties of holder/certificates they had issued (231 production varieties, plus Sample slab varieties, Novelty slab varieties, Presentation slab varieties, and Body bag varieties.  There was also a chapter on Miscellaneous material.)  Over 95% of all the varieties are pictured both front and back in larger than actual size B/W images. (over 600 pictures, about 85% of them from my personal reference collection), 436 pages.   I've been slowly working on an updated version which is up to over 150 companies now and over 350 production varieties. I keep hoping to get it finished but I am still not ready to publish and I keep getting pressure from people for copies of the book so I may have to have a third print run made of the first edition.  I don't want to because if I do I would want to wait at least two years before I published the second edition ( not fair to the purchasers of the first edition to then immediately come out with a second edition)  and there is a LOT of new information that really need to get published.[/QUOTE]
