Does anyone know if there is anyone out there who has created a more up-to-date update of the Kellerman Matrix online than Rebel Scum which was unfortunately last updated on December 3rd 2007?

http://www.rebelscum.com/kellermancards120.pdf

I only ask because I recently acquired a 2SW-21b Obi Wan Kenobi from Stefan Callear (walkie) and it doesn't feature in the original book or on the RS update. A quick bit of research has turned up a number of card backs, a MOC and even an AFA graded one (not that says much) so you would have thought someone might have wanted to.

I know John was in charge of updating the Matrix on RS himself but has been too ill to update it for a long while. Would be a shame if no one took the bull by the horns and updated it though as it's such a valuable asset, than can itself become obsolete as more variations are discovered.

Pretty sure that the answer is no publicly but there are people behind the scenes updating the Kellerman book but it is a low priority job for them.

Can you post a picture of that to see exactly what it is?

Thanks for the pics. The Kellerman book was a fantastic piece of work for it's time - but it was probably inevitable that it would need revision. It takes a lot of time and energy to maintain detail like this, so not surprising it may have fallen by the side now.

I picked up a copy only recently. I have previously only ever collected loose so it is both a fascinating and knowledgeable read on the topic of card front, backs and combinations for a beginner like me. It also has a wealth of knowledge on other aspects such as the 3 packs and is beautifully designed (which appeals to me as a graphic designer), so I'm glad I got it. I picked it up at what I believe is a pretty reasonable price in the current market so I'm happy.

It's probably a massive amount of work to update.

Plus you have to come to some agreement and whats 'available' on what card. For instance, 4-LOM and Zuckuss have been found on 47bk (4-LOM) cards - BUT, there is only 1 of each known examples. So does it constitute being a released card - or something else? The C3PO rem limbs should be a Kenner 45a bk - but its only on the 47bk. BUT, can be found on a Kenner 45bk but seems to only have been found with BASA stickers on... so was only released in Peru. Should it belong on the Kenner Kellerman list?

There's probably a lot of weird and wonderful gray areas.
