Type Collecting?

[ethicsprof]

i just took a look at your type checklist as well as your narrative re: Burdick,
etc.
Very nicely done---and a great deal of work and fine contribution to the hobby.

many thanks,

Leon and some of the other type collectors have amazing collections. They are fun to look at, and they are a service to the hobby because it's great to identify rare issues. There are a tremendous number of issues between 1916-1929 that I never knew existed!

Myself, I have examples from most of the prewar sets, but I'm not trying to collect one of every type. I'm collecting a few sets, and then I have just a few from other sets. I like looking for reasonable deals on cards that I like the looks of. I also like collecting cards of players I've heard of, from my research & reading.

Thanks Barry!

I think if Leon and I and a couple others joined forces on an update we could come up with a comprehensive list or at least a good chunk of it and then have specialists in each specific category add on... Tempus fugit though....maybe in my golden years!

It would be a fun undertaking, for sure. And yes, I think the golden years would be an appropriate time frame, in keeping with the "Burdick" tradition .

I never get tired of seeing this letter, front and back, by Burdick.....regards
