Was great to recognize Bob Lemke for all of his accolades and specifically his genuine interest in growing the hobby. Imagine cataloguing and determining so many obscure cards and sets was a tremendous labor of love. Bob had to make many decisions on variation vs. error before they would go into the catalog. Just very grateful for Mr. Lemke and his body of work.

Thank you for the link.
Like many I have a Bob story. Many years ago when I discovered his custom cards I bought some of his custom Jello boxes that I still have. At that time I wanted to learn how to make custom items. Nobody back then would share any of their secrets on doing it. Not Bob, he was always very helpful whenever I had any questions. ![]() Not the boxes from Bob but Bob inspired practice boxes I found recently when cleaning in my card room. ![]() |

Add me to the list of Bob Lemke admirers. I shared a lot of information with him on un-cataloged oddball baseball issues. He was always receptive. The Charlie Peete avatar I use is my tribute to him.

Bob sent me this same exact card just out of the blue as I was collecting Nebraska minor league cards and memorabilia at the time and Peete was a batting champion with the Omaha Cardinals. He was the nicest guy this hobby has ever seen. RIP Bob.

Bob was a great person and took the hobby to new heights. I wish I could find old archives of his articles in the weekly SCD papers from the 90s. I don’t think they exist. Enjoyed many conversations with him and he was the main reason I started collecting 19th century baseball currencies..
Thanks for posting the pod cast

One thing T.S. pointed out was Bob got just as much pleasure of knowing the new stuff as he did pre-war. Trust me when I say this, Bob kicked butt on all cataloguing old and new
I also sent this thread to Dr. Beckett to read and see who commented and he was very pleased at the engagement and the knowledge of the people who have posted in this thread. It's nice to see good things in this hobby.
