FYSIn case anyone missed this weeks SCD response from Lemke on the 2006 catalog.
1. Chronological Index error will not be fixed. A correction can be downloaded off the SCD site.
2. Overwhelming majority of catalog purchasers are strongly against reduction of new card listings. The actually are requested more coverage on minor league, foreign and non-card sets.
3. Majority also wants to continue to see one catalog volume that stays at the same price.
4. A strong enough market does not exist to make a separate book of 1980 and prior cards i.e. it is not commercially feasible.
5. In the future, obscure vintage single card sets etc. will continue to be removed to make room for modern cards. There are many more unlisted modern regional sets that are undiscovered than vintage. Examples of vintage removed from 2006 catalog include: 1916 M101-5 with Sporting News backs and many Colgan Chips.
