Biography

Mel’s book marketing skills are a legendary facet of his hands-on experience. In 1990, Mel self-published his own book, The Secret of the Pros: How to Become a Baseball Card Dealer, during the height of the trading card boom. The book sold out its entire 25,000 print run.

This led to Mel gaining extensive experience writing published articles, major media appearances, and serving as an expert witness in trading card insurance fraud cases. Mel also served as an expert witness for the plaintiff in the largest class action lawsuit involving trading card companies. This led to substantial amounts of extra revenue all generated by his book.
