Buck Barker writing on card backs

[Spike]

I picked up some cards at the National with hand-written player updates on the back and an advanced collector told me to look up Buck Barker's own updates, such as cards in this thread. He also called out the T207 Irv Lewis, which I've failed to find so far. Anyone know why that one in particular? Did Buck write something NSFW on it?

I hold and have owned before a Pinkertons Cobb - fielding with Buck's printed name and address on it.

Spike,
Send me a scan of the writing. I know Buck's handwriting pretty well. It was really nice to see you this weekend in Chicago....MM

Mark is definitely the Buck man, capable of spotting his penmanship from a quarter of a mile away.

Here are some more cards with Buck Barker's handwriting on the back just to train your eyes. The one that says "Mitchell" on the back is a little deceptive in that most of the handwriting on the card is not his, but the "Oliver" above the Mitchell and the "Nagy 81" in the bottom right corner of that card is his handwriting (which happens to indicate who Buck obtained the card from, Frank Nagy in this case, and year obtained - 1981).

My recollection is that I bought the Lewis on here. It was billed as prior Barker and Olbermann. I think I sold it with B&L around 2010. I see the listing, but no photo in their archives. It may be on here in a thread somewhere. It had red ink writing all over the back in a circle. Just bio and stat content.
