Whatever form this might take - if it takes one at all - is forever away, but have fun making recommendations now.

I make no promises, but I will be starting research on this one in the not-to-distant future. I'd like to get a full grasp of what's out there. Any suggestions on the best place to start?

I'll take this opportunity to pimp yet again Blassie vs Baron Leone from 52

There's not a ton of pre-1970 stuff. What's probably best is simply to get a list of everything that's available and then cut it down from there.

 

One thing you could do is put a post on the tOA 80s board and ask Steve if he could list everything "official" that he's aware of that exists prior to 1970. He's collected a ton of it. By official, I mean stuff that's in circulation and would be available for a Yearbook. I can poke him a bit to add to it.

Thanks, just started the thread:

 

Matches before 1970

Cool. I try to poke him a bit. I'll also see if I can dig up some match lists.

There are a few youtube channels with a lot of stuff:

For instance.

I've linked to this channel before http://www.youtube.com/user/CLASSiC1PW

 

A lot of stuff from here gets taken down, but right now it's pretty loaded with tons of old stuff and Japanese matches.

I'm pretty sure the guy actually takes them down himself when someone dislikes his videos or something. He turns it into a Jesse Ventura conspiracy channel or something.
