Boy, the crack about Lew Lipset was gratuitous.
Lew Lipset wasn't there from the beginning, but he was a very big deal from the mid 1970s on. The older collectors (like Nagy, Elwood Scharf, Al Price and a lot of other people nobody remembers today) felt comfortable around him. He was one of the early go-to guys. Lipset, as was mentioned in the interview, had a shot at the 25 grand Wagner. He was also in the running for the BB Magazine photo collection. He was all business; I don't remember him back slapping and yucking it up. Back issues of The Old Judge, his one-man operation, can be checked out on line. He issued price lists and catalogued obscure issues. There were a couple of books of check lists in there, too. He was probably the conscience of the collecting business. He didn't suffer fools. lumberjack |
