  1. I have an extensive library as well, limited only by my space. This includes 100's of SCD's mostly from 1975-1983, the first 25 issues of Vintage and Classic Baseball Collector, Beckett annual 1 and 3 and the 1975 and 1979 Sports Collectors Bible. Let me know if you want to combine resources somehow.

    1. I keep telling myself I'm going to scan in what I have so they'll be available in some digital format, but have yet to get around to it. I would love to build a sort of hobby version of Google Books, but just don't know how to go about all the OCR necessary to make it useful.
