MVSNYC...not quite Pre-War (sorry Leon)...but it is an interesting article...and i think it's appropriate to post it in this thread, since it is discussing his "influence" on the hobby.

“This is one of the greatest runs of post-World War II baseball rookie cards in the hobby. The vast majority of cards are the finest examples known,” said Joe Orlando, PSA President and Editor of Sports Market Report.
“We are honored to display such a remarkable collection, owned by such an outstanding MLB player and collector. Someone like Dmitri Young can have a great impact on current and future collectors by sharing his amazing collection with the hobby, and he’s kind enough to loan it for display at this year’s show. Simply put, it’s a collection that surpasses all superlatives,” said Orlando.
