Hi Barry, it really was a great way to "grow up" in the hobby. I was fortunate to have a role model like Buck Barker. He was respected by everybody, kind of like you are, around here. The 1970s were a fun time for me. I had a column in "Sports Collectors News" an SCD type newspaper before SCD was born. It was called "Randy's Ramblings". I wrote an article in 1976 on-get this-TOO MANY SETS BEING ISSUED!. I lost those back issues in a move many years ago. I haven't been able to find them since. Any other veterans here remember "Sports Collectors News"? Mike Bondarenko was the publisher, from Wisconsin.
