It's interesting, about a year or two ago I considered starting a catalog of the essentials for cards and related(dimesnions, blacklight fluorescence, type of printing, gloss, etc etc) to serve as a practical/beginner's guide for someone considering buying a card that they had never seen in person before (buying their very first T206 or Lone Jack or 54 Red Heart Mickey Mantle). I thought maybe I could offer it as a suppliment to my now out of commision newsletter. I came to my senses after I realized 1) It would be no fun to compile, 2) it would take thousands of hours, 3) About two people would buy it, but only after it marked it down to $2 shipped, 4) Why don't I just shave my head with a cheese grater for the same amount of fun in a fraction of the time .... In any of these endevers, it's the market that dictates, and there's little to no market for this kind of stuff, at least in the baseball card arena.
