Price guide

I don't know if it is just me but are any of you guys tired of picking up a book that weigh's like 25 lb's to check your vintage card prices? Why can't they just split this book into two books. Book one could have all cards up to like say 1969 or so and then the second book from like 1970 to present? Just wondering, Rob

No idea but I would think it may be that they think they may not sell enough of each volume to warrant the additional cost(s). Also they may very well be pleased from a publisher's standpoint with the number they sell now. I am sure our inconvenience plays little in the equation.

I agree, plus the pages are so cheap that they rip so my "bible" is misssing a bunch of pages I need...it's also organized wierd with some things and can be find to find pre-war stuff

Well I know one thing that if they do not do something I for one will not buy it anymore. What will it be next year 6 inches thick and weigh 40 lb"s. They should put all the new stuff I mean all the stuff after say 2000 on a cd like they did last year or maybe take it back to like 1980 to present on the cd. Rob

i admit that it's mighty heavy but have to say that a day doesn't go by without my referring to it. Today i sat with it well over an our trying to decipher the mystery surrounding the Holsum bread and Herpolsheimer connection. Lemke does a tremendous job with an unbelievable amount of data.
It has some problems---some warts,if you will---but i still love it 'warts and all'. And i'm glad someone is willing to do this gigantic amount of work for the
rest of us. Yes, 2 volumes instead of one would be great. But one volume is great as well---in the meantime.
best,

I don't know about ya'll but I would actually pay a bit more if they would ship it in 2, bound copies. One for vintage and one for modern. A few extra bucks would be well worth it...again, that is my opinion and I realize that $2 is way too much for some folks. best regards
