Glad to see some of the thicker skin on this board.

Over the years, I got my Doyle, Demmitt, Ohara and other memorabilia from Lew.

I've read, learned and still have his worn out three encyclopedias.

What I've learned is mostly due to Lew, Heitmann and the experience of earnest research digging and handling of cards.
Learned from my mistakes.
Making a mistake is not a crime, repeating it is.

I'm indebted to Lew and Bill.
They are collectors, from the old school of collecting.
Before the phoney portfolio pop reports.
They are from the period when people had fun with baseball cardboards.
If you think the 1929 crash was bad, wait till the "Poppies" find out that the game was carelessly played.

Back to the Real Deal -- Lew and Bill, will be around longer than the Poppies.

The top of the day to you Mr Lew and Bill, and thanks for your sharing.

Joe P.
