Rob was the one that started the rumor about scraps tobacco
http://www.rustywilly.com/largecards...hiteDeacon.htm It was in a 2005 auction catalog that Rob Lifson of Robert Edward Auctions came clean about the origin of the “Scrapps Tobacco” name. “The responsibility for this erroneous attribution, we must admit, falls squarely on the shoulders of Robert Edward Auctions’ President Robert Lifson.” Lifson then proceeds to explain that in 1974, while working on the Sports Collectors Bible, he was fact-checking with hobby pioneer Dr. Lawrence Kurzok. When Kurzok verified that the cards were “Scrapps,” Lifson interpreted this as “Scrapps Tobacco.” The issue was published in the Sports Collectors Bible this way, and has been known by that moniker ever since.
