Default So you want to rewrite the ACC? Here is a 1976 critique of a try- SCB

Not too long ago I picked up some old hobby reference ephemera from Rob D. One of the items is a "The Trading News" pamphlet, Vol 1 No 1, from March 1976. In it is a review of what is probably the best try yet at rewriting the American Card Catalog with a new system. It was called "The Sports Collectors Bible" by Bert Sugar. It was first printed in 1975 and then there were 2-3 later versions that were updated and many of the mistakes in the first edition were corrected. This short article was a critique of the 1st edition a year after it was put out. I found it interesting so figure I will share. BTW, there are quite a few of the SCB numbers that have stuck with us through today, so it can be done. It would be a monumental task though. regards
