Posted By: <b>sixties gumcards</b><p>When I was very young I subscibed to a publication called the Sport Hobbyist.<br />I believe it was published by Frank Nagy. I remember there seemed to be some<br />kind of reprint cards for the T-206 Honus Wagner and I believe others also.<br />Does anyone have any information on this publication and these cards?<br />

Most of the publications in our collection<br />were a gift from our old friend, Lionel Carter.<br /><br /><br />Carter, along with hobby legends, Preston Orem, Gene Angeley, Bob Thing<br />Wirt Gammon and Buck Barker were regular contributors to the Sports Hobbyist. <br />The magazine was published six times a year between 1957 and 1962.<br /><br />L.A. Isenberg was the original editor and that position was later assumed<br />by Charlie Brooks. We do find any issue where Frank Nagy is listed as<br />the publisher<br /><br />Earlier this year we shared a rare article Barker article on the Delong Set.<br /><br />Here are some other thought provoking articles from hobby pioneers<br /><br /><br /><br />Honus and Tobacco- Buck Barker February March 1959<br />Early Cigarette Card- Preston Orem February March 1959<br />Hot Dog Cards Buck Barker Sept-October 1959<br />Condition As I See It Lionel Carter March-April 1960<br />Tarzan Bread Checklist Frank Nagy May-June 1962<br /><br /><br />Bruce Dorskind<br />America's Toughest Want List<br /><br />
