I've used it since Day-1 and will continue to use
it. I find it's simple and accurate...it gives the
student a full visualization when his descriptions
are used without pictures. EXAMPLE:

"HARVEY's $2 (COM) (H) --4-1/2 PIE RED/WHT W/ 4'1/2
HK BLU A/ (R) WHT." tells me everything. I've seen
you respond to some of my posts using that same
"OFFICIAL" language. The reason why I believe it's
considered "official" by many is because these are
the descriptions that have been used in the clubs
auctions and all of Gaming Archaeology auctions
salse distributed around the world. Granted that
other types of manufacture have come about since
Howdy's first work and there is aleays room to
improve any work. I like it.
