Thanks Mike, and there is no question that the world is changing in every way imaginable. Maybe the days of sharing information freely have gone the way of the dinosaur. Hey, I'm just a cranky old white guy.

There is a great emphasis today on the value of baseball cards, and perhaps some collectors feel that sharing too much information will hurt them in the pocketbook. That's why we often see collectors refusing to add new cards to established checklists; they feel if they keep them uncatalogued they will be worth more money. When the cards weren't so valuable the information was happily shared.
