Default Team names in price guides

Dan, and all . . .

When originally configured, the data base from which the Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards and all related Krause products is drawn had a field for team name, and some sets probably have that data input. Obviously it was felt that someday there might be a market for a price guide to all Yankees cards, or St. Louis Browns, etc.

However, back in the pre-internet days, that data was simply too hard to come by. While it could more readily be done today, I doubt the market would support the effort and what resources are available to devote to the data base are more productively used elsewhere, such as keeping values updated.
