Or we could remember Peter Chao and jrawlsian among others

Wonka and I will both be wearing our Net 54 Hall of Fame t-shirts at the National.

I'll be wearing mine two sizes two small to get better deals.

All joking aside neat topic. I can't say that the following people have the best or aren't the best in their collecting. However with that said I've either admired their passion, collecting, collections, or they have inspired my collecting or influenced me in some shape or form. In no particular order and to name just a few..they are.

Richard Masson
Jay Miller
James Blumenthal (RIP)
Tony Andrea
Jeff Lichtman
Ron Gold
Chad & Doug Dreier
Dan McKee and Pops (RIP Mr. McKee)
Mike Peich
John Vanderbeck
Monty Barrie
Chris Browne
Sean Costello
Bruce Dorskind (RIP)
Jay Wolt
Barry Halper (RIP)
Scott Mosley
Julie Vognar
Keith O'leary
Tom Boblitt
Keith Olbermann
Rob Lifson
Joann Kline
Brian Weisner
Henry Moses
Scott Hassel
Tom Burton
Barry Sloate

Not to mention the fathers and early collectors of our hobby Egan, Burdick, Carter, Wharton-Tigar, Bray, Barker, Pollard, Nagy, Conlon, Copeland and on and on...

In the end there are so many amazing collectors it would be tough to make a list because so many have impacted the hobby beyond just what they have obtained in collectibles. In the end I'm flattered any one would mention me or my collection so thanks.

Cheers,

John
