New T205 Website with Master Checklist

[Tcards-Please]

I do agree with Andrew that if you are going to identify variations separately on the master list, then you would need to have all of them. If you would list the Christy Mathewson once with all confirmed backs, then you would capture the 1 loss. Same thing with Wilhelm, you will capture both variations by listing all confirmed backs as both variations are found separately on one specific back (i.e. both variations aren't found on HASSAN backs). I would think at some point that if you list all possible front/back combinations, that you would capture most (not ALL) variations.

I do agree that it probably would be beneficial to add a separate section that does include the variations that are found on the same back as the corrected version, for instance for those collectors that aren't aware that the Moran Polar Bear back has both the correct back and the stray line of text.

I do think that for the most part, this would be a good site and would only help the collecting community. I also know that some of us will not disclose everything that we know (as Andrew acknowledged) either because of further research or due to not having to compete with other collectors to obtain certain cards. I'm not picking on Andrew as there are other board members that aren't going to give up everything they know, but he was the one who was honest enough to say so.

Great job Ron and I'm glad that someone took the initiative to create a site that I believe will only help promote and provide information on one of the best T sets out there.
