Barry A.

I will post mine later tonight. I'm a newbie to the sportscard writing world (wrote my first essay in November), but I'm-a-buildin' the ol' resume slowly but surely (i.e., word by word, line by line, paragraph by paragraph, page by ... well, you understand my point ).

I think this is a great idea; I look forward to soon collaborating with anyone whose knowledge dwarfs my own!

[barrysloate]

Here are my articles for The Vintage and Classic Baseball Collector, by issue numbers:

Barry - I was familiar with your article (with Cory) in Wong's book - but I did not realize you and he were the authors until I happened to revisit it recently. Nice work.

[barrysloate]

Mike- I missed a few issues, so I totalled about 19 articles. Still have a way to go to catch those Yanks.

Mark- thanks, Corey wrote most of that, I just tackled the section on card collecting. I wanted to do a little more on the memorabilia side but I deferred to him, since he knows about as much as anybody.

[ethicsprof]

Mark,
many thanks for your significant bibliographical listings and also
for underscoring how much fun it is to realize exactly what our colleagues
and friends are doing,e.g. the Corey/Barry S. collaboration.

barry

[T206Collector]

You can read my articles on Rube Marquard, the Goulston Collection at the NYPL and Signed T206 cards on my website. The Marquard article was also published in an early SGC Collector Magazine.

You can also hear or read transcripts of my interviews with hobby pioneers Lionel Carter and J.W. Morey on my website as well.

Finally, I've been trying to keep active on my blog -- also accessible via the website.

It's already been mentioned on the board,
but I'll throw my name in the hat too.
Last month my book about the Philadelphia
Caramel Company was released. Don't
know if this counts, but quite a bit of
research also went into my Black Sox
website.

[Writehooks]

I wrote a monthly column for Canadian Sports Collector magazine from 1990-98, focusing mostly on hockey history and vintage collectibles. I've also contributed several articles to The Hockey Research Journal, published annually by SIHR, and was the contributing editor for vintage hockey and boxing autographs and publications for the third edition of SCD's Standard Catalog of Sports Memorabilia.

Hi Barry
Here are a a few...


I have contributed many of the current scans in the Krause SCD Baseball guide of some rare pre-war cards as well as shared information for use in it.

Provided information for the Beckett Almanac and am listed with a credit there.

Participated in many forming endeavors of OldCardboard magazine. Wrote an article or two also.

Wrote an article for the 19thCenturyOnly website when it still had feature stories on it.

Featured in Beckett Vintage magazine, with an in depth interview, due to various hobby activities.

Interviewed several times for perspectives on the hobby and subsequently published in different venues.

Contributed to Jon Canfield's wonderful book on cigarette packs.

[judsonhamlin]

I had a couple of articles in the old VCBC as well- T206 backs, 19th century stars not is the HOF and a review of the Philly show.

[brian1961]

In January of this year, I submitted my first article to Sports Collectors Digest. I entitled it, "A Tale of Three Mantles." It comprised three regional/food issue cards of Mickey Mantle---1962 JELL-O unfolded box, 1960 Post Cereal, and 1954 Stahl-Meyer Franks. I was pleased SCD seemed to like it, but they kept putting it off. Naturally, I was getting nervous.

Finally, their managing editor, Tom Bartsch, a swell guy and very young, revealed to me that they liked it so much that they were saving it for this year's National in Cleveland, to give it more attention, as they were giving out that issue for free there. In actuality, only the first segment ran in that August 14, 2009 SCD (Issue #1503). The editors also changed the title to "A Tale of Three Treasures."

I wasn't sure if I was doing anything really worthwhile, or if my approach was stupid. After all, Mickey Mantle articles abound. My nephew-in-law, a college English prof, wanted me to tear out all my creative stuff, I could've chucked the whole thing. I called our Leon, read and sung a few portions to him, and bless his heart, he seemed to enjoy it.

Whilst I am well aware that this is not a pre-war article, and perhaps have wasted your space, at least the newest card I discussed is 47 years old. Take care guys, and you few ladies, too.

Brian- I have to admit it had been a while since I was sung to. (maybe forever). That being said it did add some flavour to the prose. Very nice work indeed.
