Ted ZanidakisI am 67 and retired. After College and US Air Force (4 yrs) Radar Specialist in the early 1960's, I was
with AT&T Bell Labs for about 30 yrs as a Senior Electronics Engineer. I designed the "modems" you
are now communicating with and designed Hi-Speed data communications' Links in present day use.
I'm married with 2 beautiful Daughters and 3 wonderful Grandchildren. We live on several acres in scenic
Pennsylvania.
I collected Bond Bread cards, LEAF's, BOWMAN's, and TOPP's as a kid from 1947 - 1952....I was very
fortunate to re-discover all these cards in our old attic when I returned to the hobby in 1977.
At first, I started to complete these sets from my youth. Then, in the early 1980's I became very
interested in the real "oldies, but goodies".....19th Century, T205-6-7's, Diamond Stars', Goudey's,
PlayBall's, and various Caramel cards. I love to collect BB sets in multiples....and have just started
my 4th T206 set.
Since the early '80s, I have written about the N162 set, 7 articles on the BOWMAN sets (BB & FB),
and the LEAF BB set (in the current Old Cardboard magazine).
