If you get just one get the 2011 20th edition Standard Catalog of Baseball cards, it is huge ( over 1800 pages) but has all the post 1980 cards listed. The last edition which does not have a year on the cover and is called The Standard Catalog of Vintage Baseball cards is only 700 pages but drops all post 1980 listings.
I keep both but mostly use the 20th edition because it lists all Topps issues of any kind by year, which is how I like to access them. The Vintage edition lists each regular Topps set by year, but then lists all the insert and test sets separately and alphabetically, which since some of these issues are referred to by different names, makes it hard to use....for me. I think there were several printing errors as well that seemed to cause Bob Lemke to be less than pleased with how his final edition came out
