Dan BrettaI'll name two who have helped me further my collection in the last year from this board...one is a lurker and the other is a poster who posts rarely, but I would bet most know him.
First Mark Bowers who I've never seen post, but he gathered from my posts that I collect Lincoln Chiefs memorabilia - he had just gone to the estate sale of Dick Stuart and picked up a box full of his stuff which included a scrapbook he kept during his 66 homerun season...he sent me all of the newspaper clippings which include notations in Dick's handwriting and all the snapshot photos attached to the scrapbook. He sent me these items for free and didn't want anything in exchange.
The next guy is Don Johnston (Spaceops on ebay) who did not realize when he was bidding on a Nebraska Indians cabinet on ebay that I was the other bidder...he read about "The ones that got away" thread on N54 and he offered it to me at his cost.
I would also like to add Mark Macrae who helped me out also. He went beyond what most collectors would go when sharing information with me. I wish he would post more to N54.
