I've been enjoying the posts about Mr. Barker. Thanks to All of you. I recall hearing of him. Then, in the early 90's, seeing one of his lists. And then, seeing correspondence from the late 50's back and forth between him and the collector who was buying from and asking questions of Buck.
Baseball has a significant history component, not just through a season, but on from season to season, and transcending generations. Collectors of the old cards have an interest in the history of the game, the cards, and often in the history of the hobby. And that is the history of Mr. Burdick, and the gentlemen who followed... Egan, Barker, Haber, Carter, Heitman, Lipset, and many more.
