David... Great piece(s) - Thank you!

David seems to come up with some of the most interesting articles. As one who was familiar with the Card Collectors Co. (probably back to 1958) and Wholesale Cards (1962 or so), David's article (with equally great links) is fascinating. (Glad I got most of my necessary work done earlier.)

The 1963 Collectors Directory caught my eye and the early listings, of course, had Michael Aronstein (10,000 cards with the earliest being 1948 Bowman). I have to think he was being modest about his collection but perhaps that was "all different" cards. Then, two names below his was Jay Barry (college freshman from Michigan). Jay is still very much active on eBay as I have "run into him" there a few times. (I think he has moved to somewhere in the west.)

Please continue these trips back into hobby history, David!

Thank you,
Steve
