A fitting end to the thread
There are quite a few handwritten notes left that have not been posted but most are merely check-listing and giving minute idiosyncrasies to each of the caramel sets. Posted here is what Egan and his cohorts hoped to do with this Handbook, which was to literally renumber the American Card Catalog "E" sports candy cards and separate them from the rest. Since we are still using the American Card Catalog numbering it seems as though this herculean effort, while it was a great accomplishment in check-listing the series', did not accomplish what it was intended to. If there are specific requests to see detailed info on the sets I will be glad to post those pages or answer questions where the Handbook is concerned. We will eventually put this thread in the Ne54 Forum Archive Center (upper right icon) so it is here permanently for reference. I am including a list of contributors to this handbook which was at the back of the Handbook. I know we have at least one board member from this list who still posts. best regards

handbook
I see Steve Mitchell's name on the list and must say that I'm pleased.
He's a prince of a fellow and one of the great gentlemen in the history of the hobby. His serving as editor of one of the hobby's early periodicals was a remarkable achievement. I believe I remember seeing Barker,Nagy, a precocious Olberman, and a number of others with brief articles or comments. And the name of that hobby publication is::::: best, barry |

After about 12 yrs I thought I might bump this thread as a lot of members probably haven't seen it. Enjoy..

Blast from the past post! 🤣
Speaking of Dick Dobbins…not too many collectors can claim to be part of hobby history but also be collected within said hobby! Dick was in the background as a young man in the 1949 Sommer & Kaufmann card Of team trainer Doc Hughes.

In this thread from 2017 I posted most of the first issue of Sports Collectors’ Journal from July 1967, right after Steve graduated from high school. https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?p=1683408 |
