Brian WeisnerHi Scot,
That's very kind, but I think my research pales in comparison to Heitman's work. In fact I used "The Monster" as my T206 bible, and assumed everything in it was correct until proven otherwise. The fact that he was able to amass this amount of data in the late 70's early 80's is quite remarkable, besides the fact that it's probably 95% on the mark.
Thank goodness for the Internet, as now we can all research our favorite cards in a few years versus a few decades.
Very few collectors today would communicate the way Burdick, Lipset, Barker, and Heitman etc did by mail in the past. I doubt you and I, Art and Ted would do as well if we had to write letters everyday.
Keep up the search Brian
PS Ted probably would have written a letter a week....
