All joking aside neat topic. I can't say that the following people have the best or aren't the best in their collecting. However with that said I've either admired their passion, collecting, collections, or they have inspired my collecting or influenced me in some shape or form. In no particular order and to name just a few..they are.

Not to mention the fathers and early collectors of our hobby Egan, Burdick, Carter, Wharton-Tigar, Bray, Barker, Pollard, Nagy, Conlon, Copeland and on and on...
In the end there are so many amazing collectors it would be tough to make a list because so many have impacted the hobby beyond just what they have obtained in collectibles. In the end I'm flattered any one would mention me or my collection so thanks.
Cheers,
John
