On the upper left photo on page 2, that sure looks like a very young Dr. James Beckett

It was certainly not a good year for hair-styles and facial hair.

I will resurrect this thread with an article from Frank Nagy, The Sport Hobbyist, Jan 1964...

Interesting tidbits from 51 yrs ago...

Leon - Thanks for sharing. Amazing, isn't it, that the nuts and bolts and common sense approach has not changed much over the years. That kind of 'providence' under-scores the importance of a patient, measured approach whether you are collecting as a hobby or as an investment.

The part I appreciated the most and can identify with the most is the gleeful wait for the postal carrier's arrival...Santa in light blue!

I feel sad for the majority of 'occupants' who view the US Mail as a necessary evil...at best. I always greet my carrier with a friendly hello and a smile...for he's there to have my sign for my latest Ty Cobb.

I always love these threads, Thanks Leon!
