2009 Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards-WTF?
Posted By: Dave Hornish
OK, I finally sat down to look over the new big book and right away there is a glaring problem. I turned to the Topps section in front and it appears that from 1948 through 1969 not one price has changed from the 2007 edition, on either the regular or oddball sets. I stopped looking after 1969 but the set, common and stars I spot checked had no changes in the past two years. Even the '68 3-D's, featured in a huge Olbermann SCD article earlier this year, reflected none of the information in said article. |

Please... anyone who has the new 2009 SCD guide... if you could check the 1965 Topps set listing and let me know if the entire set is in there this time or not? In my 2008 SCD guide the last portion of the '65 Topps set was missing which is quite annoying when you're trying to complete a set and can't find info on all the critical high number cards!!! |

The prices did not change at all for the sets I collect either. In some ways it is good because the prices are so ridiculously low I pray I can find someone willing to sell at the listed prices. I realize it has to be challenging to put this guide out but a simple scan of ebay would get you in the right zip code as far as prices are concerned. The DVD is excellent and helps justify the $40.00 plus cost. |

Let me state that it may be physically impossible to price every set in any of the catalogs at this point for just one person. |

But in TWO years time you would think the price of EVERYTHING has changed either up or down??? Dave was comparing the 2007 guide to the 2009 guide...kida makes you wonder if spending the $$ on the new guide is worth it. But having it on CD does sound nice. |

If you complain about no pricing changing; and don't volunteer to help -- don't post on the subject. I know that Don would like help with the Standard Catalog and my old comrade at Beckett, Brian Flesicher (BFleischer@Beckett.com) would also appreciate any and all help for the Beckett Almanac. |

I disagree with the notion that somehow it is the responsibility of the customer to make the prices right. |

i think the biggest problem is they cant make the decision to split the book in to 2 separate entities |

So, how can we help? Don can see Ebay and all the auction sites, so flooding him with e-mails of auction results would only make things worse. What information would really be valuable to him? |

I just received my copy from Amazon yesterday. I did not buy it for the pricing/value details. More importantly, it is my encyclopedia of baseball cards. I needed to know what was out there and a bit of history and specs of each card issue. Is there an alternative that documents such? If so, that's what I needed. Much better than lugging around this 3-4" block of paper. |

I buy one every two years, first time I can recall such stagnation. I can relate if Don F. is given no resources by corporate. I have loads of non ebay (raw) pricing data on inserts, I should probably try to organize it. |
