Don Fluckinger...but the choice isn't mine.
The thing is, the overhead in creating a book plus the marketing/production/shipping/distribution is probably more than the pool of vintage collectors can support. And that would have been during the boom economy. Now that it's bust...you know the rest. Disposable income ain't what it used to be.
Believe you me, I would love to sign up for that project and do the writeups, features, spotlights on beloved cards, and the like. In color, of course, with spot-varnished pages worthy of the items pictured.
If I win the lotto, I just might give back such a thing to the hobby that has given me so many good times and led me to so many excellent people...in the meantime, I will voice your desire to the brain trust at F+W (some of whom are reading this already) and see what happens.
