Priceguide that helps distiguish real cards from fakes.

I have had this conversation as recently as yesterday...at least about vintage baseball card books in general....bottom line is it is a moneyless, thankless job that takes a lot of time. I was speaking with a well known expert about writing a new reference book and, even though there might be 500-1000 serious collectors, it does not make sense to do it. It needs to be a labor of love (not money) for someone that has the time and resources to do it and wants to help the hobby. Lew's encyclopedia is still the best thing out for knowing "about" the cards and the SCD is the best price guide out. What I was speaking about with the expert was an "update" to Lew's encyclopedia....certainly not a new price guide.....regards all (there's been a lot of new stuff since Lew produced the hobby's standard reference)
