I never knew Bob Lemke personally, but I was a big fan of his writing and his enthusiasm for the hobby. I first became aware of him when I picked up the first issue of Baseball Cards magazine from the newsstand at Dominick's Finer Foods in the spring of 1981 and read his editor's column. That column, and the one from the second issue of Baseball Cards in fall 1981, have stayed with me all of those years, so I've scanned them below in Bob's memory.
