Nice to see that what my dad, Mike Aronstein was able to achieve during his time in the hobby still resonates. Thank you to the guys who have already mentioned his name here in this thread.
You can listen to Keith Olbermann speak fondly of my dad during his speech at the inaugural meeting of the SABR Baseball Card Committee at the link below. Some stories about a quarter of the way through, then at the end during the Q&A: https://sabr.app.box.com/s/kxgpod56h...b882u4npvipmao

Jefferson Burdick
Lew Lipset Wharton Tigre Buck Barker Beckett and the auctioneers don’t belong on the same level as these people. |

I think there should be a greater emphasis on hobby pioneers like Burdick and Barker, who were involved purely for the knowledge and the love of collecting, than for some of the people who got into the business solely to make money. Maybe the latter group made some important contributions to the industry, but they don't seem Rushmore-worthy to me.

If he hasn't been mentioned, David Hall. Like him or hate him, PSA has revolutionized collecting for a large percentage of the hobby. PS I see he was listed, so I agree with that choice.

While I don't think that he belongs on that list, Dmitri Young is a player-collector who does tick a lot of the boxes.
