Jay MillerBob--I dug up an old SCD catalog to see what you are talking about. The 3500 type number includes team variations (both different teams and spelling of the same team)and position variations(although not the spelling thereof) in addition to pose variations. It does not, however, include some name variations (A.C. Anson vs Anson vs Capt. Anson). In my humble opinion this is an inconsistent way of doing things. My suggestion is that you either simplify the list by leaving off the slight variations in team spellings---Cincinnati vs Cincinnatis--- or go in the other direction and work out a deal with the Cartophilic Society where you publish the complete listing. For almost all people I think the former would be more than enough. More importantly, if SCD is going to publish this listing I would encourage an updating of the material. Perhaps SCD could take the next step and publish a book solely dedicated to the Old Judge series.
