"brush with greatness"

Posted By: Chris

So some of the posts from the "old timers" have been really great. I was wondering if anyone would like to share any stories of conversations, trades, buy ,sell or just general experiences with some of the pioneers of the hobby like Burdick, Nagy, Carter, Bray etc. It would be great to hear some stories. Maybe someday someone will write a book about the pioneers of the hobby. Much like Lawrence Ritter realized in the 60's that someone should interview some of these old ball players, I think someone should interview some of the dinosaurs of the card collecting hobby that are left. LOL. Just kidding. I have had a renewed interest in this board recently with the true collecting stories that have been shared recently. Anybody have anything they want to share? Any great stories of discovering "new" cards that everybody knows about now?
