I agree Frank,
I have the Wagner (trimmed), listed in the ad as #5, but take a look at the scan and you'll see that it's noted on the actual poster as #2, leading me to think that Lord may not exist (but it might).
The thing with these issues (insert smiley face here) is that they are virtually impossible to date, and the only way they will be cataloged is if we all combine our lists, even then there will continue to be new discoveries.
I think the TSC did the very best job that could be done, but those of us who collect them could help update the list, adding those that we have which aren't on the list, at least. It's hard to get rid of items listed that don't exist, because it's virtually impossible to prove that they don't exist. The Dan Howley La Presse Roto would be (for me) a specific item that I think might not exist, but is in the catalog.
The White / McBride 1962 Topps stamp panel has been thought by many to not exist, but we now know that it does, so removing things can get tricky, I think noting that they MAY not exist is better.
