When I first started in the hobby...before ebay...before auction houses...and before the damn grading companies were around...my fondest memories were of receiving Lew Lipset's Four Base Hits Catalogs.

Some of my most cherished cards came from Lew. My only regret is that I didn't buy more of the items. I remember a Chief Meyers T215 with a Red Cross back, and an Ira Thomas Diamond Gum pin...each for $300.00. Regrets, I have a few.

Looking through the Four Base Hits Catalogs was as much of an education as reading Lew's books on Tobacco and Candy cards.

Thanks Lew for those wonderful memories, and for sharing your knowledge with others!

Here's my favorite purchase from Lew's Four Base Hit Catalog.
