<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2256875, member: 36230&quot;]With all due respect to you and Mr. Stanton, even if an attempt was made at including more common varieties, those listed still represent only a tiny fraction of what was known at the time of printing. This certainly isn&#039;t a bad thing per se - a CPG-style reference listing even a majority would comprise near countless volumes and is wholly unrealistic - but is true and is something that, particularly newer collectors, should know. I remember Mr. Wexler once mentioning to me that there are over 100 different DDRs for the 1964 Philly cent alone, yet how many are listed in cherrypickers... without checking, perhaps two or three? Sure, most are going to be very minor and of no real interest even to many variety collectors, but they&#039;re still legitimate varieties nonetheless.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please understand that this nor my previous post was intended as a slight to the books - they&#039;re certainly fine references, albeit ones with clear limitations and unfortunate omissions - but they&#039;re not definitive variety references, even if a number of more common ones have been included.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
