Index to my hobby history posts
Over the past couple of years I've made many posts here on Net54 about the history of our hobby, most of them including scans of old hobby publications from my collection. I thought it might be useful to gather links to many of those posts in one place, organized by topic, to make it easier to find what I've posted. Here is a first attempt at doing so, subject to revision.
Hobby pioneers: Jefferson Burdick: Collector directories, 1937-38 and 1940: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=241674 The Burdick Collection, 1947-49 http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=240887 Lionel Carter (and others) on Jefferson Burdick: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=224897 1993 Syracuse article on Jefferson Burdick: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=224583 Jefferson Burdick in The Wrapper, 2001-2007 http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=228520 Preston D.

Wow, this post should be instantly enshrined in the Net54 Archive Center. I have enjoyed many of the threads started by David, and now can easily check out the ones I missed.

Thanks for putting this all together David! As I'm reading/ re-reading through some of this stuff again, I noticed the pricing in the mid 50's and it's noted that the t206's were gaining on the t205's in terms of price/popularity. i guess I've always assumed the "Monster" was always the favorite (p. 15)

David, I had seen only a few of these individual topics before and enjoyed them immensely. Now I can look forward to hours of additional education and fun going through all the others.
Your contributions to the hobby are enormous! Capturing this treasure trove of historical information about the hobby for current and future collectors is of a value that cannot be measured. Thank you so much! Ed
