I've known Larry Dluhy since we both worked at the Houston Post back in the 70s. One of the hobby's good guys. He had a great store in SW Houston and promoted shows. He had some great guests at those shows, too.
The first cards I recall seeing were some '58s a kid down my block on Long Island had that summer. I started collecting the next year and the '58s and '59s have always had a place in my hobby memories. They were the first two sets I built when I came back to collecting a decade ago. They mean baseball to me. Wonderful cards.
Good luck with the chase. I've disposed of almost all my '58 dupes over the years and the ones I have left are mostly beaters so they wouldn't be of any use to you. Otherwise I'd have been glad to send them your way.
