John,
I'd never seen that 1970 Topps football box with Bill Haber posing as a New York Jet. I second your sentiments of Bill being a "good friend and outstanding collector," as well as those of Tom and Fred. He used to visit me in Boston whenever he was up visiting his inlaws in Brookline, always bringing an album for show-and-tell, but we spent most of our time together brainstorming about pursuits of missing major leaguers. We collaborated on several player "finds," including Charley Fish (Fisher), who died in the gold fields of Alaska, and Frank Maher, who was seriously injured warming up for his first (and only) major league game. Bill and I shared a passion for Colgan's Chips, a set I am still pecking away at today.
