PaulTo me, the most tragic thing would be the information that would be lost if obscure vintage sets are cut out of the catalog. Rather than scrapping the information, why not put it on the SCD website? Just the checklists, that way Bob wouldn't need to update the prices for these sets. And only the deleted sets would need to be on the website. That way, the website would not take sales away from the book.
The fact is, there is probably no one in the world with more basic checklist information for obscure vintage sets than Bob Lemke. Whenever someone finds an uncataloged card, Bob is the person that people notify (unless they want to keep it a secret). It would be a shame for all of that knowledge to go to waste.
