I would love if the big book made a comeback, in 2 volumes (there's just too many sets and cards now to cover vintage and modern in one binding). But I doubt it's viable as the online resources just make so much more sense today. Hanging on to my copies until the end, physical is more fun.

My thinking out loud thought is just to focus on the vintage aspect of the catalog. With all the available web access to modern cards, not sure it would even be viable to include modern cards as well as vintage.

Then what would be the cut-off for vintage? 1979, 1973, 1986?

And how many would be willing to take this on?

What am I even saying at this point? I'm probably nuts for even bringing it up.

Cheers,

Butch T.

You keep bringing it up because it's your destiny Butch.

I remember the day I picked up a significant amount of E98 commons and thinking what'm I gonna do now? Am I really the guy that's going to commit to finishing an E98 master set? I decided yes, stripped down and jumped into the deep end. It's that simple and difficult at the same time.

Good luck, I'll help with the west coast stuff where I can.

Bob Lemke was a distinctly different individual. Meticulous. Patient. Intelligent. Trustworthy.

And it is going to take a similarly special person to create an updated version of the Standard Catalog.

I communicated with Bob about a few corrections I had, one was changing the Lelivelt card from Jack Lelivelt to William Lelivelt, they were brothers. When I discussed some cards he had that he wanted to see in person, that meant I had to package my treasured Green Joyce card and mail it to him. He mailed it back. And after that, I was good with mailing him other cards for him to see. I'm sure others of you did that with him, or you got to meet him in person. I mention this because of what has been previously mentioned about not just trusting an email with a digital image that someone sends.

I'd like to see an updated Standard Catalog. Could this board do it? Could we commit to prepurchase catalogs to raise money for remunerations for an editor or editorial team? It would be a long term project... but then it's not like anyone is printing new Old Judges, Collins-McCarthy's, Nadja's, or T cards to be considered.

I, along with a couple other well known collectors / chroniclers of the issue(s) have been working on an "update" of the Baseball Magazine posters(m113/m114) catalog.

At one point I reached out in a couple directions which I thought might potentially yield some helpful info for our endeavor but I didn't receive any responses.

Oh well, the journey continues.
