I'd add Fritsch, Michael Aronstein and Renata Galasso to the list on nominees. I think all merit consideration.
Alan Rosen treated me like dirt in my limited dealings with him. But he was influential.

I've always admired the guys who published these hobby publications - John Stommen founder of SCD; Dan Dischley, The Trader Speaks and Frank and Vivian Barning, Baseball Hobby News -not to mention several others.

Definitely agree - no athletes on the list and Burdick, Berger and Beckett are shoe ins - #4 is super tough - there have been so many great nominees mentioned here I don't know how to pick 1!

Lots of people mentioned were in what I figured as "hundreds of others"
Certainly if Beckett is in, Dennis Eckes should be as well. I like the eventual hall of fame idea, The GBSCC did something like that for a while, I'm not sure if they still do. If I remember correctly it was a yearly award. One of the stamp groups I'm in does something similar, at the yearly meeting they have someone sign the roll of distinguished philatelists. Considering some of the names on there, it's a major honor. Going with a very modern look at things, I'd have to consider Scot Reader, Ted Z, and Pat R. Some of what they've done would be impressive in any hobby, and I think that someday their sort of more detailed look at complex sets will become more common. (and I'm sure I've missed a few people doing similar things with different sets) |
