great thread
1. My uncle Don who gave me my first prewar cards (R313-R314, W711 Reds) back in the 1970s.
2. the 1970s collecting community who communicated by US mail !@ - I particularly remember corresponding with and learning from George Vrechek all those years ago. Now George is probably our foremost historian of the hobby.
3. More recently: Even though I got HIM into prewar cards, my best buddy Mike Peich has had a huge and happy impact on my own collecting.
4. My local buddy Chris Bland has taught me so much!
5. OBC, which welcomed me into their ranks c. 2000 and gave me a great collecting community.
6. And Net54!!! (Thanks Elliot, Bill, and Leon!)
