Resource For Post War Variations Collectors

[ALR-bishop]

Taylor--I think Mike and his cohorts are very receptive to comments and suggestions. The basic format started with an update to Gilkeson's publication which was in that format

They do have the 73 coaches. For some reason the site has occasionally dropped certain lists for certain years, but they have a list for 73, so check back later.

They are definitely interested in listing any missing variations and debunking any urban legends.

This is not a full time job for these guys so feedback may take time to show up in the lists

They do have a notes section under many lists that deals with well known print defects and urban legends that do not make the main list for lack of verification or not being in compliance with their definition of a variation.

I will point out your comments to Mike, although you can make them on the site

I glanced through the site and there are some of the recent updates which are obvious (1990 Upper Deck Weston for example) and need no more help and some which really need explanation (the 1996-97 SP Frank Thomas and Ken Griffey Jr.). I think if you are going to show a picture and the difference is not totally obvious you must explain the difference.

Agree with you Rich that if you are unfamiliar with a listed variant, the descriptions can sometimes be unclear or confusing. I have asked Mike for clarification on some descriptions and he has readily helped with further info. I think he is very receptive to that type of input for the site

Thanks for checking out the website and thanks again Al for this posting here.

Each blog contains a checklist and sometimes photos for the year(s) listed in title. When the underlined file is clicked on/downloaded, there will be a listing with description of each of the variations as seen in the photos. I have just finished adding notes to the photos mentioned above. I will try to improve as we go along and your comments will help make this site a special one.
Most appreciated,
Mike
