2011 Standard Catalog in hand

You have NO idea just how embarrassing any typo is. Please take my word for that, I'm still upset at myself for mistakes of 10 years ago

Christopher . . . yes, the CD has been eliminated. In an ideal world it would resurface in the future as the vehicle for every card/collectible in the data base.

DaClyde . . . Given the staffing levels at F+W's sports periodicals/books, I'm unsure anyone is responsible for doing any more to the modern major league section than adding each year's new issues. I can try to incorporate significant changes, additions or corrections post-1980 as part of my input as long as time permits. The modern minor league sectionis currently in limbo; given the lack of hobby interest, I don't see it returning any time soon.

Just got mine, it really is the BIG book; this thing is massive!

When I tried to add my NL Fan Craze Header card to the PSA Set Registy I was informed that the Fan Craze AL Header card is listed in the most recent Standard Catalogs but that the NL Header is not.


If this is true it should be corrected. I have had a few NL Headers over the years and have no reason to believe that they are phonies.

The AL ad/header card is mentioned in the text, but is not included in the listings. It is not mentioned in the NL write-up.

I expect they will be added to the listings in the 2012 book.

Thanks for pointing that out.

The 2011 lists the Big Eaters as jumping from last year's $2,750 to $7,750. that's a $5K jump! Typo or for real?

Listed in VG they are around 2300, which is about right. Since I doubt there are more than 1-2 in NMT, (actually I have never seen one in a 7 or 6 holder) I think it's hypothetical. I don't know that if one came up for sale it would reach that top price but it might. It's certainly not far fetched in my opinion. The 2750 price in NMT was way, way low. Of course Bob can probably answer better but I do have a bit of experience with the issue. I have perused the new 2011 and it looks good though some of the vintage pricing could still use a little refreshing...(I haven't, nor will I, look at the new card portion of the book...it's just not my focus). It's another fine edition though and well worth the price of admission. regards
