Very Impressive Man and Collection
Had to stop mid-article just to say David has a very impressive resume' and collection. It's a pleasure to have corresponded a little with him.
This part of the article tickled my funny bone:
"As [hobby legend "Buck"] Barker humorously wrote in a 1960 Card Collector’s Bulletin about advanced collectors, “In order to obtain a few cards every month, he must write many fruitless letters and keep hot on the chase, but the disappointments will be many. Often there is no use writing old friends as none will have anything for trade. Then he’s reduced to writing articles, a sad state indeed.”"
Having been one, whatever motivates one is fine with any editor-publisher. Just get us something of value to print!
Thanks, Dave, for sharing this great article and for all your contributions! Also, thanks to George Vrechek for writing some of the most interesting articles ever featured in our hobby publications.
