I am completely shocked that nobody mentioned the guy who invented paper - Cai Lun. An argument can also be made for the Egyptians, but I don’t recall any cards being printed on papyrus.

On a more serious note, I think Lawrence Ritter also made a huge contribution with The Glory Of Their Times book/interview tapes.
