If I can't do my archival work for my career at the moment, at least I can keep my skills sharp right now

I'd love to see the site when it's up. I am missing Campanella, Goslin and Jackie Robinson and then a few of the more recent ones. I've been going at it since 1991 when I thought it would be cool to get Brooks Robinson on my postcard!

Thanks and glad to see yet another plaque collector here!

Probably will a bit with the site. Still doing research and I've only finished the A-C names.

Early pieces starting to take place. The researcher at the Newbury found this:

Hopefully we'll eventually find completion and shipping dates. Looks like they didn't even order them until a few days after the Induction back then. Note the many mistakes including Arthur "Vans" and "Paul G. Wagner."
