Brian, nice post.

Buck befriended me when I was a teenager hanging around the early St. Louis card shows. We were talking about the 1963 Fleer set at a show in the mid 1970s and I mentioned I had never seen the checklist card for that set. A week later I got one in the mail. Compliments of Buck Barker.
