brian parkerYes, that is the distinctive format and style of writing of Buck Barker. Although I haven't checked, 'Harry George' should be the full name of the player shown on this card, which besides all his career team movement, also lists his birth year and year of death, expressed in two digits. If I were to guess, Buck Barker was probably one of the people who helped research and identify the players pictured in older issues, identification information that is used in our catalogs today. Perhaps someone who knows or has access to old hobby papers (hi Jeff O.) could dig out some answers and tell us why the Buck Barker name is so relevant to our hobby.
