Ted ZanidakisBeckett's very 1st Almanac (1996) was about as good as you can
expect in BB price guides. They divided it into three sections.
The first section was clssified as Vintage and covered all sets
from 1886 - 1947. The 2nd (Modern) section covered all issues
from 1948 - 1979. And, the 3rd included all issues 1980 -1996.
If you so desired, you could remove the 2nd and 3rd sections
and have a complete and compact Vintage card guide.
