Posted By: <b>warshawlaw</b><p>Got the 2006 big book today. Nice commentary on the cover about the way the hobby is going, Bob--he chose images of cards of Stock, Bonds and Cash on the front, Silver (Flint), Money, and Gold on the back.

Posted By: <b>Bob Lemke</b><p>I'm open to suggestions for a "theme" for the 2007 cover. First person to suggest the eventual winning theme gets a free copy. Everybody else on the Forum will get a chance to send us scans or loan us cards for illustrations. Make your card famous!

Posted By: <b>Glen V</b><p>Hey Bob, when you asked this question two years ago, I came up with the Stocks/Bonds/Money idea. Already bought this year's guide, how 'bout next year... <img src="/images/wink.gif" height=14 width=14><br><br>.

Posted By: <b>Bill Stone</b><p>I suggest the theme of " Young and Old Collectors" It always impresses me when I heard stories of grandad taking his grandson/grandaughter to a card show ---they may have totally different interests but love the challenge of collecting --ps as long as both vintage and modern cards will be grouped together this should be an appropriate theme.

Posted By: <b>Bob Lemke</b><p>David, I don't think this works because there hasn't been one since, what, 1967? We need to be able to depict one very recent card on the cover, along with a 1950s-1970s card and a pre-war.

Posted By: <b>Daniel Bretta</b><p>I'm getting in early on the 2009 cover. It has to be a tribute to the T206 set for it's 100th anniversary. The book should include a photo of the Wagner and Plank cards and you could tie it into the new cards by picturing one of the neovintage Topps 206 cards.

Posted By: <b>Bob Lemke</b><p>Glen, I don't expect to be here for the 2009 book, but you've got a good idea. I don't recall your monetary-theme suggestion from back in 2004, but if you did advance such an idea, I'll trust your memory and send you a 2006 or 2007 book. Hey, if George Harrison can forget where he heard the tun for My Sweet Lord" . . . <br /><br />Daniel, I think your idea might be too esoteric for the retail book buyer as it does not allow for the use of recognizable names.<br /><br />We might consider banned players if anybody really big takes a fall for the steroids.
