David...

Great post! Hobby history, like baseball and American history, interests me. One of my hobby highlights was meeting Bob Jasperson - and his son, Mike. (Wish I had not sold a bunch of original Conlon photo scrap to Mike, however.)

As demonstrated by these articles, the hobby has certainly developed greatly in size since the 1950s and there are giants (like Bob Jasperson) still looming large; there just not enough of them.

Thanks again for a great post.
