Tom Boblittif you won't entertain the big pre-1981 book, how bout this for a compromise. I bet most people here would even pay MORE for the book/books if you went the Barry Halper Collection route and made a slipcover with 2-3 different volumes. You'd have to sell the WHOLE thing, but those who rue the new stuff would have at least two different books to work from. Maybe Pre 1980, Modern, and Minor League or some other division to make it 2-3 different volumes.
It has been narrowly reported that some pricing inaccuracies in your guide may or may not be intentional to make it easier to identify if someone is 'stealing' your prices for another publication. Thinking in a conspiracy-minded way, one might also think that would hold true for the cards that are in your checklists that no one has ever seen. Straight up, is this true or not? Are some prices printed in error for this purpose?
My wife marvels that the book is so dang big. If nothing else, it does somehow, in some way, justify that this is a legitimate hobby to her that a single book can hold so much information about things from 1880's to 2003.......she still thinks I spend too much though.....
