Brian WeisnerI agree with alot of Jeff's nominees, I've been around the hobby for 25 of my 34 years and have very clear memories of the catologs produced by galasso, young and a few other Mavericks, which drove the hobby in the late 70's early 80's. I attended numerous shows from Atlanta to Atlantic city, often stopping at Willow Grove, the best of the Old tyme shows. Alan Rosen has always been Mr Mint, full of hype, but underneath the mask, one on one a pretty good guy. Josh Evans is another good guy who away from the hype is a true hobbiest. I remember buying bats and signed contacts at his house before Lelands was even an idea in the lightbulb stage. Bill Henderson is another Hobby nominee, he knows more about commons from 1950 on than anybody period. Soory to ramble , but from 12 to 25 I had a hell of a good time in the hobby. Thanks to all, I know I've forgotten many. be well brian
