Yet another one of the books I have yet to read is 'Smithsonian Baseball: Inside the World's Finest Private Collections' which includes a write up '19th-Century Memorabilia' by Corey R. Shanus and Net54's own Barry Sloate, but, regrettably, also includes a Bill Mastro contribution.
Speaking of Mastro's contribution, it would be fun to see Brian Seigel's collection while he still owned THE CARD.
I think seeing Barry Halper's Collection in person would have been a great thrill. If you don't have one already, I would highly recommend getting of copy of his catalog from when he sold everything that wasn't donated to museums.
