And for those kind enough to mention my name, I might be worthy of raking the leaves that fall on Mt. Rushmore, but that's about it.

That's the responsible thing to do to prevent forest fires.

Amazing contributions. I have to admit that at first I thought the �old� card company founders wouldn�t stand a chance, as Frank Fleer and Enos Goudey were really just gum men. But we�ve gotten a good number of Jacob Warren Bowman nominations here and elsewhere and I am ashamed to say that I had no idea he was also behind Gum Inc/Play Ball prior to Bowman. Being the man behind two largely successful and influential card sets seems like it would carry weight. I�m still reading up about his history.
