In our topic about potentially doing an update to the ACC I have acquired #2 and #4 of Bert Sugar's "Sports Collectors Bible". It does in fact look like a supplement to the ACC with much more info given. It is also where our designations of "WG" for game card and "H998" for Western Playgrounds came from. As I read through the revisions I am sure I will catch many more "new designations" too. I have contacted several hobby experts, with more than 30 yrs of time in the hobby ea., and so far everyone is willing to back a project and even help a little if need be. In thinking about getting this project accepted I do believe we need a buy in from many of the hobby icons. I think we can get that. I also think that we need to define a goal. I have never felt good about changing anything in the ACC but adding to what is there. W600's are always going to be Sporting Life cabinets..even though they should be M600. There are many more examples but bless Jefferson's heart as he gave us the ABC's of card cataloguing. I have noticed that there is an expanded list of cards and prices too. I don't think we need to venture into the pricing areas as the SCB did. There are enough ways to ascertain those already. I just figured I would keep the subject alive. It will be slow going but we'll see...One last thing. It looks like Mr. Sugar was a jack of all trades and master of none. There are many stamp and bakery and other issues that he left as "unc". My plan would be to give them all acc-type numbers. We could denote them somehow too......best regards
