I do not (at the present time) wish to enter into the violent and acrimonious discussion on "The Book" but as a new collector, I would like to make one suggestion to all members (and any others reading this message):

When you place a scan(s) of the card(s) you are offering on ebay, please scan both obverse and reverse. Quite often, the reverse of card contains the difference between cards with the same front and one cannot tell which card is being presented.

Too, for new cards not yet in The Book, one may note a variant on the reverse differing from the card one has.

To sum up, analogously to discussions of the Slot Card BBS, I would like to see both sides please both on ebay and here.

Pardon the simple thoughts of a novice but that's what this BBS is here for (I hope).
