Bob LemkeI'm going to work up an FAQ presentation for the Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards (also to run in SCD). I invite you to ask any question you have about the book, general or specific. If you post your question here, I'll answer here, as well. If you wish to e-mail your query, you'll get a response in kind. Those questions which arise most frequently will be published in the book each year. For instance:
1) Why do graded "commons" often sell for much more than the "catalog" values listed?
2) Why are the SCBC's prices different than those in the Beckett Almanac?
3) How come and how do you price some cards which don't exist, or at least are unknown in a particular grade?
No question is too "tough," if it's on your mind, it is on the mind of thousands of other collectors.
