Goody Goldfadden. I have never met him but my Mentor in baseball cards has.

Late last Summer, my Mentor came back to Indiana and I helped him clean out a storage shed. In the shed was mostly newer cards and junk. However, there were also some of his stuff he had kept over the years. A couple of items were from Goldfadden. One was an original want list of items, another was a list of items he had for sale and their prices and the third was an invoice showing what my Mentor sold to Goldfadden (mostly Bowman cards from the late 1940's and early 1950's) and for how much. These were all either from the late 1950's or early 1960's.

These were interesting to see because my Mentor answered an ad in a magazine that Goldfadden had placed. They only met in person years later but by then had done many deals, over the phone and then through the mail.
