Default recataloging

Posted By: jay behrens

I think the only place where changes, or I should more accurately say additions, be made to the ACC are for uncatalogued sets of unknown origin or manufacure. There are far too many w-unc out there. These really do need a proper designation since there is no readily identifible manufacturer or issuer. It wouldn't be so bad to redesignate sets that are improperly catalogued. You can still leave the original deignation in the book, but then make a not that it has been recllassied as...

An issue like Voskamps, while it would be nice to give it a designation, isn't really needed since the issuer is readily known and set is known as Voskamps by everyone. Any new issue of the ACC would have to have an alphabetical checklist of sets and the first place anyone would look for Voskamps is under that name. Most people couldn't even tell you the ACC designation for any of the 30s gum sets.

My place is full of valuable, worthless junk.
