Mike Berkus Tribute From Memory Lane

[Leon]

I thought it was nice of Memory Lane to remember Mike Berkus, Managing Partner of the National Sports Collectors Convention, with this 6 x 9 glossy card sent with their most recent catalog. Mike did a lot for the hobby, seemed to be a friend to everyone and will be sorely missed. He was always very accommodating to our forum and had spoken at the last 5? or more Net54baseball dinners at the National. I am sure if asked he would have obliged to speak at the next one too. He will sure be missed. I loved talking about the hobby with him. He had some great hobby stories.
I photo-shopped a bit of advertising off of the card but it is done very nicely and is a nice tribute, imo.

Leon,

I received one also, First Class, I never got to meet him.
I remember reading about the 1st National, I want to say it was in the Baseball Hobby News by Frank and Vivian Barning.
