Changing the Standard Catalo listing

[darkhorse9]

Reading the thread on the Globe Imports cards and how he was able to get them to change the catalog listings for the item got me wondering if others have been able to influence the book as well.

i was able to make my contribution by providing the 1978 Wiffle Ball side box cards (That's actually my image of the Bert Blyleven card in the catalog) and getting them to add that listing to the book.

Has anyone else been able to influence and add information to our standard guide?

Good luck with that, I tried to get them to add rookie card designations on some pre-war cards several years back. I never got anywhere with that..........

I had regular dialogs with Bob Lemke about adding variations, and did get several added with his help, including the 67 Mantle Punch Out variants

.

Also got him to add a 4th baseball item for the Topps 1954 baseball subset



I have not had any discussions about additions with the current editor, Tom Bartsch, but know others who have gotten such additions made through him.

Near the end of his tenure Bob Lemke developed a narrower definition of a variation and as a result removed some print defects that had been listed in the catalog. Mostly border breaks as I recall

Also the Standard Catalog information for the 1980 Topps Prototype Coins should be changed and updated showing the color variations for each of the coins and also how many are known to exist to date (only 12). Long over do for prices too

Not sure what they would change with that listing. The prices on these rare type items in the Catalog are always meaningless. The numbers are really an unknown as well. How would you have it read ?
