Just purchased this T212-2 off eBay and am curious if anyone thinks these are Buck's notations:

Yes, it Buck's writing, as I have many of his backside scribbled up cards.

I'm in no way an expert, but when you look at the back of the card, the first thing that stands out to me are the couple (few?) of lower case f's and how they look similar to the writing sample provided with that downward slant of the crossing line.

Do we want Buck Barker to write on the back of our cards?

As I mentioned in my previous post, Buck yeah! The man was tireless in researching the ID of players in many vintage sets, especially Zeenuts. I personally believe his handwriting on a blank back card like a Zeenut makes that card ten times more interesting...he used the cards as note pads to identify and document a player's career while he was doing his extensive research at the Sporting News.

It is an honor for most collectors to have a card from his collection. |

Buck befriended me when I was a teenager hanging around the early St. Louis card shows. We were talking about the 1963 Fleer set at a show in the mid 1970s and I mentioned I had never seen the checklist card for that set. A week later I got one in the mail. Compliments of Buck Barker. ![]() |

Randy, I totally agree about Buck Barker's impact on the hobby. Back in those days (early 1970s), guys like Buck and Frank Nagy not only offered advice to young collectors like myself, but also gave away cards they know you needed. If there was a Mt. Rushmore for collectors, I think Buck and Frank would be on it... at least in my book.
