to get Lemke to change something, usually. EVEYONE has told him that there is no Joe Jackson in the E-254 set, only the E-270 (Tin Top) Colgans. Fritsch published a list--no, it was Lipset, of E-254s that have been listed for 30 years that don't exist. Many HOFers in the plain Colgans (E254) just don't exist, incase you were wondering why you never saw them.

Finally, Mark Macrae, who found a Walter Johnson Tin Top several years ago got him to put it in.

But it's nice to see the changes he DOES make. Like the Obak premiums prices and checklist.

Lemke calls the pretty generic die-cuts from the 1880s "The Artistic Series" and lists them for $200 a piece. Lipset says they were printed in Germany (as were Scrapps). Price is a bit high.

ENOUGH.
