THis is a great idea for them or somebody else. Maybe the folks at Old Cardboard would like to add a priceguide or produce a separate magazine with just a priceguide. SMR is so off on so many issues. It would be great to have a price guide produced by people who follow vintage pricing. |

Price guides in print are obsolete by the time they mark it up send for seps then print and finally ship it the market has already changed. You will be able to get instant results form vintagecardprices.com in another month and the prices are updated and added to daily. |

No offense to Robert or Ted, but isn’t this the board where people beat up folks for plugging auctions that benefit to their financial gain? Haven’t we had this discussion a thousand times that it’s viewed as a conflict of interest of sorts? How is plugging your new business venture any different? |

I have been watching the posts about the 2 new on-line price guides for the last several days. I feel there is a fine line between a slight plug and outright advertising. I will not let too many more threads go about the guides, if any. They will have to make it on their own, as far as advertising on this board, especially in the main forum. I don't want advertising of any kind, at this time, on the board. It's nothing personal. Who knows what the future will hold but I have never been close to allowing it, so far. I will watch the posts and threads closely and this can be fair warning that I don't want to see too many plugs for businesses on the board. Nothing personal...I hope everyone, everywhere, is successful in his or her venture....regards |

Robert, I agree with you completely. What is the since of having a hard copy of a price guide at a card show when you can just ask the dealer what vintagecardprices.com stated the last time that they looked it up. It will make the dealer spaces neater to not have any price guides cluttering up the back up tables. |

Thanks for the suggestion, but a print media price guide for vintage cards is not commercially feasible. At least that's what the bean counters say. Realistically if you could 2,000 paid subscribers, that would be a huge percentage of the active vintage collectors, yet would not be enough to attract the advertisers needed to pay the bills. |

What about Old Cardboard fattening up their magazine with a price guide? I would be willing to pay more for that. Others? |

A printed price guide really is unfeasable. As has been pointed out, by the time it hits the newsstand, it's outdated. Maybe once the market cools off a printed guide would work, but I think most of us follow ebay and the other auctions closely enough to know what the market is for the cards we are interested in. Besides, with 2 online price guides coming up, there really is no need for a printed guide due to the limited market, as pointed out by Mmr Lemke |

is all we use of the guide - 100 pages of major league and 19th century and 25 pages of minor league so this would be too large for Old Cardboard's current publication. However, someone might undertake the data imput to produce such a book, since it really does not change with no cards being added year after year. If prices were included it would have to be updated every year or two. AH's book was kind of like this and I still find reference value in it and the prices have caught up in 15 years or so since publication. Ah - if I were 30 no make that 40 years younger. Zack get cracking you can do it. |

I always just buy the yearly SCD Catalog (Lemke), then chop out 2/3rds of the book, the new stuff (1980-now) and retape the spine, and now I just have a book 1 inch thick. Its worked for me for the last 5 years or so. Im happy with the SCD Catalog. |
