I think that we should upgrade only the reference library for non Kuethe tokens; the Kuethe page in our site should be replaced by a pdf file of this catalogue for the benefit of those who do not own it. The non Kuethe reference library should be aimed to the publication of an upgraded magic tokens catalogue.

very interesting thoughts....I will continue to add to the MTS# as time allows.....many people who visit the site do not own (heavens) Bill's TAM book

Regarding a pdf file, the sticking point is that this is copyrighted material by Kuethe and/or TAMS. It is not in the public domain. Upgrading is a good point. Lots of room for defining scope. Not only with new items since 1978, but with discoveries of older pieces, die varieties, metals, etc.. I'd like to suggest that at least the same standard characteristics be included on the site for pieces listed: Magician, location, obverse/reverse description, composition, est. rarity, value, diameter, and edge. The absolute value rating is obsolete - maybe of some use as a relative measure. I'd like to see more information on designer and manufacturer, myself.

We keep adding as time allows....several members including Dave have been kind enough to make this easier by shooting an email with jpeg of the front (obverse) and back (reverse) of the token along with information..... would love to add more info about mfg of the tokens....sorry to say that most times we have been unable to find out who made what....the home run info is when we are lucky to get a real quantity that was made and if any of the run was issued....for example Ren Clark token...lots were made but sadly they were not distributed.... ----------
