Hey- I think R. Crumb is a really neat guess. Did you know he designed a few sets of trading cards in the style of 1933 Goudeys? One was a set of blues singers, with their biographies on the back; I forget the other but I have both sets at home. I think they are from the 1980's. And the way the collection was described recently in an SCD article, with all the cards thrown into a paper bag, that sure sounds like a way Crumb might save them. I have an affinity for him anyway; loved the movie about him, have several of his books signed by him and have an extensive underground comic collection with early printings of all the Zaps. I say excellent guess (but could be wrong).
