A tattered old copy of Erdnase's "Expert at the Card Table", re-named by the KC Card Co. as "Card Secrets Exposed" just went on Ebay for about $120.00.

These particular books are quite rare, and this winning bid seems to indicate a steady upward trend in price for Erdnase volumes of various vintages.

This was basically the same book as the Drake/KC Card Co/Powner softcover with the King on it, but far less common than those particular volumes.

At these prices, it will be interesting to see what some of the older Drake hardcovers will bring in, let alone a first edition.

At least two first editions have sold within the past two years, one with several letters regarding the search for the author. It should not be too difficult to find those prices.
