Things I liked: Nothing. The way I wasted my money on this pamphlet.

Things I would have changed: Make the cost of this "book" $2.99 retail.

What others should know: This item is just not worth ten bucks. For an enthusiastic air gunner, there is more 'meat" in an average printed, Pyramid Air catalog than there is in this book.

Things I liked: A must-have for garage sale ghosts. Is that old Red Rider with the metal lever worth anything? You bet!

Things I would have changed: The last time I checked, Dr. Beeman was dead and has been for a long time, so he won't be making any changes.

What others should know: A thin pamplet with some interesting information. Not for serious collectors, but it will serve to inform the ignorant, like me.

Things I liked: Very informative, nicely illustrated, well written essay.

Things I would have changed: Pyramyd should pack this with the respect it deserves, between two pieces of cardboard to protect it, and not just throw it loose into the box with other things, so that it arrives partly crumpled.

What others should know: This is a REPRINT of work originally published in 1986, not an original edition. Pyramyd fails to mention this in its description.

To Edith, your points are well taken...and if the potential purchaser is purchasing information, the price may well be worth that admission and (possibly far) more. But investment-grade refers to items such as first edition and original Fitzgerald, Twain and the like. In other words, (or "word,") much like Sam Colt's Patterson, Oscar Barnack's Leica, or even Captain Cook's Chronograph, "original" vs "exact reproduction" certainly takes it out of my league. One can argue the relative values of content vs the actual object in question itself, but in all reality, once the word "reprint" is added, twenty years from now the selling price will likely be...10 bucks.

103David--Dr. Beeman's works, including the old Beeman catalogs, are highly collectible and sold for surprising amounts of money amongst airgunners (some old catalogs sell for as much as $500). When I originally wrote the description, I was not told that this was a reprint. That's why the word REPRINT was not included in the original description…and why it's so important to people who collect vintage publications. Some people will buy this to complete their collections until the time that they can afford to buy the original print version.

I have to say...what's the big deal about "reprint?" This is hardly an investment grade publication.
By Edith from USA on 2013-06-18
Mike B--When Alan wrote his review in 2010, it did not indicate it was a reprint. Once we saw Alan's review, we added that info to the description.
By Mike B from USA on 2013-06-17
"Reprint" is in the very first line of the description after the title and "23 Pages"

  • Big Daddy from USA asked:

    Is this a re-print?

    • Big Daddy from USA:

      Haaa....Let me note before I forget that question was a joke!!! Who would think you were getting original anything at all for $10.00?? I believe it really comes down to the negative nancy's of the world just poppin' off because their miserable with themselves. Come on morons...go away if you can't grasp the fact this is first a hobby and then a fun no-impact sport for some. The loosers aren't the reason we have this awsome website to motor our hobby/sport. Thanks for doin' what yall do PA!! BD??????
