Easy way to find which card texts/icons have changed?

I've been mulling this over: is there an easy way to figure out what card text / icons have changed across versions? I know that updated text is marked in the White Wolf VTES card list, but that's not quite the same thing as knowing what changed. For example, if a card like Concealed Weapon once required Obfuscate (did it? I seem to recall that it did), but no longer does, that fact is not represented in the text list... the requirement is simply gone from the list. I'm wondering if there's a way to determine the list of deltas, as opposed to the list of current cards. Why do I care? I'm considering making a series of stickers for myself that I can affix to my older cards that update them to the most recent version... but I'm not sure how to determine which cards I need to be concerned with. Any thoughts? -Jason

See the * change from "first printing" (isn't that obvious?) to "contains correct text". -- - Gregory Stuart Pettigrew

[ quoted text not captured ] http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/migration (Needs to be updated, though. It'll give you a good start. After you finish with that list, just check the pages for each expansion to see what migrations are listed: http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/index.php?line=Cards )
