It's amazing to me how many folks have been doing this for so long. Every time I think I am going to get burnt out I think about these type folks. We have quite a few that are on our board that have been doing it a long time too. I know Steve Mitchell (hi Stephen) has been at it longer than most. Don't know how often he reads but I know he has posted some.

It was a lot easier to remain interested 20-30 yrs ago...let alone 50-70 as it took decades to acquire the knowledge you can gain online these days in a weekend.

When I was collecting vintage in my early 20's I had never even seen most less common issues in person.

And has been mentioned elsewhere, the cards that are now really "rare" are just that. I am sure back in the day, pre-internet, seeing a Darby Chocolate or Washington Times card would be akin to seeing Haley's comet. Now, not that big of a deal.

Leon- Any chance you could post the article on the "cover boy" Paul C. Frisz? His collection looks very interesting!

Hey Mike,
It's only a one-pager so here ya go.

And Steve- I didn't mean to imply you are old!! We are talking baseball cards...how old can we really be (or act or feel)?

i think it's interesting that ad lists cigarette cards(t206) as being issued 1900- 1915?!

Thanks, Leon, but some of us who have been hanging around the hobby for a few years aren't so old. (At least we don't think so - regardless of number of birthdays passed.)

When I saw another poster ask about seeing the Paul Frisz story, I thought we might have published something in Sports Scoop but a quick search did not turn up anything except this photo (Aug./Sep. 1973) of Mr. Frisz with the Pat Quinn - father of another Net54baseball.com poster, Tony Quinn (quinnsryche). Now, speaking of oldtimers, Pat has been actively publishing his sports memorabilia auction continuously for more than 40 years!

I would say that our hobby's history indicates its built to last, and is in for the very, very long haul!

Best regards, everyone,
