Default 1974 profile of Keith Olbermann in Sports Collectors News

Here's a profile of "Whiz Kid" Keith Olbermann from the November 15, 1974 edition of Sports Collectors News. Some interesting stuff about how he got started collecting and what he had in his collection at that time. The article says he was 17, but Wikipedia (and all the other sources I can find online) says he was born January 27, 1959, which would have made him 15 at this time, almost 16. Wikipedia also says he graduated from high school in 1975 (and this article does say he was a senior) and that he enrolled in Cornell at 16. Maybe he was lying about his age to hobby people so they would take him more seriously?

Anyway, here's the article. On the first page I didn't bother to crop out the item about the Cincinnati convention, in case it's of interest to anybody.
