I am relatively new to this forum and I must say I am very surprised with the strong feelings towards Mr. Lipset.

My first experiences with vintage dealers (Mid 1990's)were with Lew and Mark Macrae and I consider myself VERY LUCKY to have had my initial dealings with these individuals. I was very much down on Baseball after the strike in 1994 and vintage collecting helped me regain my passion for Baseball.

I still fondly remember Lew patiently reading a list of approx 80 W514's he had recently logged and were to appear in his next catalog. He certainly did not need to take up his time with a "nickle and dime" collector like myself. Lew was a great help in allowing me to complete this set.

Although my collecting is somewhat specialized, I can tell you I still look forward to each and every one of his auctions.
