Default What collectors did for a living in 1972

The "What do you do for a living" thread reminds me of this column by Wirt Gammon in the May 1972 Ballcard Collector, in which he gives the professions of a long list of prominent collectors of the time, including big names like Lionel Carter, Buck Barker, Charles Bray, Frank Nagy, etc. I figured I would give this its own thread so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.

And note Gammon's ad on the second page, in which he says he has thousands of T206s for sale or trade. You got 20 free T206s for subscribing to his newsletter, and he would sell them to you for 45 cents your choice, 40 cents his choice, with a discount for big lots -- only a quarter each if you bought 600!
