Two things really stood out to me.
The first was the mention of Roosevelts stamp collection. Oddly, he didn't have as much expensive stuff as you'd imagine. And much of that was presented as gifts from foreign governments.
He did either influence or start the design for nearly every stamp issued during his presidency, and was a very active collector.
The second was the desire for Topps to produce a 400 card set the size of T cards.
We only had to wait 35 years, and they're usually 350 cards, but they did eventually do that.
