Bob Lemke -- Terribly Sad News

[Stampsfan]

As an SCD subscriber for many years, I enjoyed his insight, knowledge, and writing. Never met him, but he seemed like a good, honest man. God bless.

Very sad to hear this bad news.

Thank-you Bob for the big SCD book and all your other contributions to the hobby. But especially for the beautiful Mantle and Post cereal custom cards.

While in another thread we were wishing for the conclusion of "Hauls of Shame", the new SABR Baseball Card Blog is going strong. David Cycleback just posted an article about black lights and here is my tribute to Bob Lemke.

Very saddened by the news of Bob Lemke passing away last week. His love and contributions to this hobby are everlasting. Thank you Bob, Rest In Peace.

Mr. Lemke was great about collaboration with Standard Catalog. He was approachable and allowed for many additions year in and out to the SC. I remember emailing him about a card he didn't have listed in the Tin Tops set, and he simply asked me to provide scans, and with a few more emails, the card was added the following year. Still own that one of kind Southern Leaguer.

Prayers to his family - God bless
