Old-Timer
Yes! I remember buying this book and being thrilled to read about Old Judge cards that seemed so ancient to my 13-year old perspective that I could hardly believe cards that old could still survive. Like you said, so little had been published at the time books like this certainly thrilled a generation of vintage fans. I remember this book inspiring me to look into Old Judge cards. Yep, I am an old-timer. Been called worse...

Still have my copy, and refer to it every once in awhile. It was a great resource, with more pulpish paper that was easier to write on when tracking your collection. RIP Mr. Erbe.

Keith Mitchell took me under his wing when I started collecting Old Judges. He was a wonderful person and a very knowledgeable collector. I'm sorry he never lived to see our book. Much of what is in there is knowledge that was shared freely by him.

I still have my copy; I bought it just after I bought the 3rd Beckett guide when re-rentering and was impressed at how much more Erbe had on some sets than the Sport Americana guide did. I had heard he passed last year; I may have seen an obit on Sports Colelctors Daily.
