Visit with Bruce Dorskind

Posted By: Mike Peich

Last Friday morning I had a pleasant visit with Bruce Dorskind at his New York City apartment. We fit the visit between appointments for both of us, and Bruce did manage to show me some of the highlights of his collection. As I knew from his posts, he is extremely knowledgeable, passionate about the early game, and broad-based in his collecting interests. I was particularly impressed with his Negro League memorabilia and cards, as well as his Federal League collection. Equally impressive is his baseball sheet music collection, some of which is framed and prominently displayed. His cards are truly high grade, and they are among the rarest in our hobby. As he has noted, his is America's toughest want list.

I enjoyed my brief stay with Bruce, look forward to seeing him again, and, as always, enjoy his posts. My only frustration is that I wish more of us could have similar visits to the collections of others on the board.

Happy Memorial Day to all.

Cheers,
Mike

It was an honor and a pleasure to host Mike

His knowledge of the hobby and of early baseball
was quite impressive.

We look forward to sharing our collection and
our thoughts on the hobby with other knowledgeable
collectors.

I've seen Bruce's collection many times, even spent two days at his apartment cataloguing it for him, and he does have some really great stuff. Mike, if I knew you were going to be there I would have stopped by and introduced myself (with Bruce's permission, of course).

Bruce - Do come to the National in Chicago this summer. It would be great to hear your thoughts on the hobby.

So Mike, when you were there,...how many of you were there in the room?!

I'm sorry.
I just couldn't resist any longer...I've had that brewing for days!

Bruce,
I hope all of you understand.
I am immature and I am weak.
But at least I can admit it, right?

honestly, I wish you had a website display of your collection. I'm sure it would be quite a bit of fun to browse.
