Rich - Jimmy and I had discussed creating a database to catalog existing pre-1900 cabinets and cdvs of professional players/teams that aren't in Lemke's "Standard Catalog". This never got off the ground, but we planned to attack it by dividing up auction catalogs.

If enough of us got involved we could do it, but it would involve first coming up with a list of "attributes" we want to record for each item, and then finding a suitable database and interface to use.

Examples:

Date (or approx.) of issue
size
team/player
[publisher]
[photographer]
image
auction 1 (name/date)
price 1
condition 1
auction 2 (name/date)
price 2
condition 2
auction 3 (name/date)
price 3
condition 3
Number of existing copies
Notes (owners?,history,etc.)
