Default any recollections of "the little black dot?"

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

Tom not only knows his BB cards; but, has an amazing expertise on the characteristics
of the cardboard used to produce the various BB card sets. Tom's Chemical Engineering
background enabled him to restore a Vg card into a near Mint card. His work on T206's,
Goudeys, Diamond Stars, Play Balls, Bowmans and Leafs was an art of exceptional quality.

When I first started collecting the 1933 Goudey set, Tom went into a lengthy disserta-
tion on the inferior quality of Goudey's cardboard used on their first series of cards.

Tom is in his 70's and has always been a very low key guy....if he could, I don't think
he would be an active participant in this forum.
