Default 2006 Standard Catalog Index Error

Posted By: James Feagin

I wish I had the e-mail still where Bob explains "why" they can't start segmenting and make separate books. Face it, the vast majority of those who buy the Standard Guide don't collect vintage cards, or know what they are. The Standard Guide is a "one size" fits all geared to the Border's crowd who want to know the value of the 1990 baseball cards in their closet. With the rapid and amazing decline of the modern card industry, alas, they still consist the majority of the collector's out there. A "pre-1960" Standard Guide would probably sit on stores shelf forever.
