I also think its more than time to move the goal posts from the 1980 modern date to preferably 1990 (before the monster push into inserts and such) or an easier date like 2000. 1980 is coming up on 45 years ago. In reference seemingly when the term was coined 52' Topps were a far newer issue than 1981 fleer.
I know they don't do as much digging into the oddball/older card world as they did when I was there back in the day but Beckett continues to publish their Almanac and in 2 editions (older and modern). While I don't know the numbers (or care to either). I can guarantee you they would not be publishing these books unless they made money.
