Do you love fantasy, science fiction, and horror art, but can’t afford (or don’t have the space for) prints or originals? Maybe you have a passion for collecting, but sports card sets just aren’t your thing. Then perhaps the all-but-unknown area of fantasy art cards is for you. There are over 200 different card sets, with such famous names as Frank Frazetta and Boris Vallejo; and even one dedicated to the grandfather of fantasy art, Maxfield Parrish.

This guide will give you the ins-and-outs of fantasy art card collection, from how to get started, to how and where to find the best deals, and closing with a comprehensive and complete list of all the available sets from the two major publishers of these cards. So get your D-ring binders, 9-pocket pages, and top loaders with penny sleeves, and let’s get started! About the Expert: Steven Yoder is a published author, entrepreneur, business owner, and avid fantasy art card collector. He has turned his hobby of collecting art cards into a full-time business on eBay selling them under the trade name paperdragons, and has become one of the most recognized authorities in the world for this niche.

Secret Historian
Author: Justin Spring
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1429932945
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 496
Book Description
2010 National Book Award Finalist for Nonfiction Drawn from the secret, never-before-seen diaries, journals, and sexual records of the novelist, poet, and university professor Samuel M. Steward, Secret Historian is a sensational reconstruction of one of the more extraordinary hidden lives of the twentieth century. An intimate friend of Gertrude Stein, Alice B. Toklas, and Thornton Wilder, Steward maintained a secret sex life from childhood on, and documented these experiences in brilliantly vivid (and often very funny) detail. After leaving the world of academe to become Phil Sparrow, a tattoo artist on Chicago's notorious South State Street, Steward worked closely with Alfred Kinsey on his landmark sex research. During the early 1960s, Steward changed his name and identity once again, this time to write exceptionally literate, upbeat pro-homosexual pornography under the name of Phil Andros. Until today he has been known only as Phil Sparrow—but an extraordinary archive of his papers, lost since his death in 1993, has provided Justin Spring with the material for an exceptionally compassionate and brilliantly illuminating life-and-times biography. More than merely the story of one remarkable man, Justin Spring's Secret Historian is a moving portrait of homosexual life long before Stonewall and gay liberation.

The Hunt for History
Author: Nathan Raab
Publisher: Scribner
ISBN: 1501198912
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Nathan Raab, America’s preeminent rare documents dealer, delivers a “diverting account of treasure hunting in the fast lane” (The Wall Street Journal) that recounts his years as the Sherlock Holmes of historical artifacts, questing after precious finds and determining their authenticity. A box uncovered in a Maine attic with twenty letters written by Alexander Hamilton; a handheld address to Congress by President George Washington; a long-lost Gold Medal that belonged to an American President; a note that Winston Churchill wrote to his captor when he was a young POW in South Africa; paperwork signed and filled out by Amelia Earhart when she became the first woman to fly the Atlantic; an American flag carried to the moon and back by Neil Armstrong; an unpublished letter written by Albert Einstein, discussing his theory of relativity. Each day, people from all over the world contact Nathan Raab for help understanding what they have, what it might be worth, and how to sell it. The Raab Collection’s president, Nathan is a modern-day treasure hunter and one of the world’s most prominent dealers of historical artifacts. Most weeks, he travels the country, scours auctions, or fields phone calls and emails from people who think they may have found something of note in a grandparent’s attic. In The Hunt for History, “Raab takes us on a wild hunt and deliciously opens up numerous hidden crevices of history” (Jay Winik, author of April 1865)—spotting a letter from British officials that secured the Rosetta Stone; discovering a piece of the first electric cable laid by Edison; restoring a fragmented letter from Andrew Jackson that led to the infamous Trail of Tears; and locating copies of missing audio that had been recorded on Air Force One as the plane brought JFK’s body back to Washington. Whether it’s the first report of Napoleon’s death or an unpublished letter penned by Albert Einstein to a curious soldier, every document and artifact Raab uncovers comes with a spellbinding story—and often offers new insights into a life we thought we knew.
