Do you remember what it was like before the scan archive?  If it's really
not all that useful anymore I could take it down and save a few Mbit/s :)

Seriously, the instructions and set inventories have very little functional
overlap.  Those together combined with the metadata in the Lugnet DB, make
an amazingly useful and complete set of information we could only dream
a few years ago.  Linking the Peeron inventories from the Lugnet set
pages is long, long overdue.

Also, the archive includes scans throught 1998, and 1999 will
be included early next year.  Of course if you are trying to find
out what elements are in current sets then the set inventories will
be much more useful.
