Hobby History 101
Posted By: brian p
Within recent memory we have had a couple of posts concerning mysterious writing on the back of various vintage cards which was determined to be from the hand of Buck Barker, one of the hobby's forefathers. I tried to elicit a response as to why Buck Barker is considered such an important figure in our hobby, but received no replies. Mark MaCrae has provided me with some interesting background on Buck Barker's relevance in the hobby, and I would like to share with you all. |

Sad to hear that the Buck Barker Award is longer. truely a sad statement about the National Convention. |

Do you know who did the research to come up with all the Old Judge set nicknames and first names? That must have been an incredible effort. |

This is the type of post I really like to read on this board. I've heard Buck's name before, and new that he was a pioneer vintage baseball card collector from the early part of the century. I did not know some of the other information posted here however, and I'm grateful to Brain and Mark for sharing it with us. |
