From my winter 1983 copy of BHCR, here is an interview with Renata herself .....apparently she and her husband (former Yankee batboy Bill Hongach) have/had quite a collection themselves. If I had a collection like the one they have, I would be smiling in all of my pictures (unlike Renata in this article).

I wasn't involved in the hobby from 1971 to 1988. I missed most of Renata's heyday, but I would often see the name. |

Chiming in on this thread.
Renata's store was not to far from where I grew up in Brooklyn; the same neighborhood actually. I wish there was a hobby store, similar to Renata's still around Brooklyn. Like almost everything else with the vintage side of the hobby, things were better years ago. Never thought I'd wish I was older, but it is what it is! As a side note, would love if a Net54 New York/New Jersey meet up could occur!

I remember purchasing sets from her in the early 80's. And if you purchased a certain number of sets, I think 3 sets would qualify, she would include an autograph poster of a player being featured that year. I would ask collector friends if they were planning on buying a complete set and once I had the required amount of sets, I would send in the order. A short time later the sets and autograph poster of the star player would arrive. I have a signed posters of Reggie Jackson and another of Frank Robinson.
