Default Question for Bob Lemke re: 1904 Fan Craze

Posted By: Gilbert Maines

Is it Bob Lemke's responsibility to correct every mistake made by our predecessors via his own research? Regarding set dates, there are numerous sets with apparently erroneous dating attributation in the Sports Collectors Bible. Many of these have been corrected, while others are carried over without checking.

Emphasis on the dating of sets is a relatively recent phenomonon. Perhaps brought on by a diminishment in the prior focus on the inclusion of all cards in the sets.

I do not expect that the dating of the issuance of all sets will be firm for some time yet.
