David these articles are a fantastic look at the history of the development of the hobby. Thanks, and keep up the good work!
Many decades ago my much older brother gifted me either the 1962 or 1963 Card Collector's catalog, the only bit of hobby ephemera that he had saved, and which I still have buried somewhere. I always found it fascinating to ponder what my brother could have ordered (I don't believe he ever did any mail ordering), and now can place it within the history of the hobby dealer, thanks to your postings.
Thanks again, and looking forward to the next salvo...
Brian
