2011 Standard Catalog in hand

[Bob Lemke]

Big Eaters (and many others) . . . Leon is exactly right; the $7,500 theoretical price is there to support the VG price. This is one of many sets which could stand to have only the VG price listed, but given current in-house technical considerations, that is easier said than done.

M116 Cobb . . . Now that I have a nice representation of actual recent sales figures for pastel vs. blue, you casn be assured that the 2012 book will reflect pricing more in keeping with the rest of the pastels vs blues in the set.

Please also keep in mind that current sales of the Standard Catalog only support a very limited part-time contract to maintain and improve the vintage sections, and that all of my pricing changes have to be submitted by about the end of February. The book's pricing will never be truly fresh in the way that on-line and auction sales results are fresh, but it's the best that can be done in an ink-on-paper format.
