Bruce Dorskind is also extremely knowledgeable, although sometimes we lose sight of it due to all the other extraneous things that surround his posts. |

There are niche collectors out there who have tremendous knowledge of certain areas of collecting....I think it would be near impossible to know everything about everything so I'm going to include those in my list that I think know more than most about nearly all aspects of our hobby. |

Back when I was trying to acquire a certain particularly difficult card for my 1910 Obak set (Obak collectors know exactly which one I'm referring to, no reason to go into the backstory), I would write to sellers whenever they put the card in question up on Ebay, asking that they please not end the auction early, and explaining why it had become such a difficult and desirable card to acquire. One of the sellers wrote back and politely explained that he was aware of the situation surrounding that card and that he would let the auction run it's course. The note was signed "Bob Lemke." I felt just a little bit stupid. |

Joe, if you read what you said carefully you used a double negative. Thus making it a positive statement inferring that you will make the list. |

Just out of curiousity, who here has corresponded with Keith Olberman on vintage cards? We all know he enjoys them and has a great collection, but everyone I have talked to about him, has never had contact and seems like a ghost. I do know that Rob Lifson does do some business with him, but who else has been able to talk to him about his knowledge in the hobby. |

Keith has been a casual friend over the years. We have spoken, emailed, and met a few times in person. I try not to impose on him because he is both very busy and a celebrity of sorts. So I've always kept it low key. |

While I am humbled to be included, I would be remiss if we didn't add Bob Marquette, our own T-Bob, to the list. Bob is an authority on many sets, and a welcome, sane voice on the Board. |

Keith Olberman was a regular contributor to hobby publications in the '70's and early '80s and still writes on occasion. |

I once did an little piece about the 74 Washington Nat'l League Cards -- Keith O responded with a very courteous, very informative email which we later ran in our publications. I was quite amazed and please that he took the time to add much detail to what I had written on an general view point. |

I communicated via email with Keith O. after I sold him a card. He told me about his recent purchases, came across as knowing a lot and was polite. I've heard other normal collectors who've dealt with him also say that he's courteous and polite to them as well, though not gregarious. |

Bill Mastro certainly belongs on this list. I would also add Joe G. for his knowledge of Old Judge cards, especially Detroit information. |

KO knows a helluva lot about the hobby from what I have seen. He did a great 5 part series on Topps proofs for SCD this year (see their site) and two great articles on the Topps 3D set (only the second is on the website). Would love to see his collection someday.... |
