Question for Bob Lemke

[Archive]

Posted By: Bob Lemke

I have great respect for Rich, Grant and Wayne and for the work they've done for Jim on the Almanac. However, because I can't be sure of where they got their checklist for a particular set, I don't want to risk compounding any errors which may creep into the body of their work. (It is virtually a full-time job to find and correct my own listing errors.) Also, there is the matter of hobby morality. If our competition takes the time and makes the effort to acquire a good ol' vintage set listing, I don't feel it is right to pick it up from their pages. That's not to say that on occasion one of our contributors hasn't provided us with a checklist lifted in that manner, but both the Almanac and the Standard Catalog share a fair number of contributors.
