In 1981, Ralph Triplette and I co-authored an article clarifying the utter confusion
that existed in the hobby on the 1949 Bowman set. We first submitted it to
Frank Barning of The BB Hobby News; but, Frank thought our theories on this
set were too speculative. So, we contacted Bob at Krause Pubs. and he thought
our article was right on the money and worthy of a big color spread in his
BaseBall Card Magazine (which then was best in the hobby).

We received over a 100 really positive letters nationwide thanking us for our story
and Jim Beckett incorporated our findings in the 1983 price guide.

Subsequently, I wrote four more Bowman BB and FB card articles for Bob in SCD
and the BB Card Mag. and I must say he was very supportive and provided excel-
lent guidance in the process.

I hope my personal story provides some real insight into the great guy Bob is.
