Gilbert MainesRecently I have been working on a small project involving card cataloguing. In doing this I noticed for the first time that the Standard Catalog lists Cuban sets. These are not currently a part of the ACC designated sets.
Some may wish to include all currently known sets in an updated ACC type listing. My initial reaction to the potential inclusion of cards which portray Negro Leaguers in this listing is negative.
Specifically, I do not have the right to include these highly historical elements in a database. These cards belong to a culture and a history which is one of our society's treasures. Certainly Id like to extend an invitation to the (nonexistent) curator of this treasure, to join the listing, but doing so is impractical.
Id much rather put yet another poll on the table, as follows:
Should cards which portray NLers be included in an updated ACC type listing, or is maintaining the status quo a greater tribute?
I vote to put no number alongside any of these treasures.
