There was also a Card Collectors Hall of Fame that Irv Lerner started in the late '60s and continued into the early '70s, but as far as I know it eventually became moribund. I think it was tied to Lerner's "Who's Who in Card Collecting" that he put out for a few years. Burdick was the first inductee, of course, and Woody Gelman and John Wagner were also early inductees. Somewhere I have some issues of Ballcard Collector from 1970 or 1971 that discuss the most recent nominees and inductees. I'll try to find and post it.
