You guys made me smile!
I'm glad to read your responses to my post! Our group here is very special and I am happy to be a part of Net54.
Rich, I'm going to find a couple of my different cards that Jim Bouton's company made for me way back to send you and yes, I'll sign them! The rarest collector/dealer cards were a set put out by an early hobby paper long ago featuring our good friend Bob Thing from Maine. If you can locate the set I'm sure you'll find other hobby pioneers as I recall having a Charlie Brooks card when he was doing the Sport Hobbyist. As for Bob Thing, i called him after the nice SCD article on him and told him he needs to sign my copy! In case any of you did not see it in SCD, you can also view it on-line on George Verechek's old cardboard site. I googled Bob Thing Article and it came up! On this subject, I really must say how much I have enjoyed George's articles on hobby figures from Lionel Carter to this recent one. He's doing us a great service by providing a documentation of the pioneers of our hobby just like our leader Leon's doing with his posting of the Bulletins from the 40's! I'm constantly reading old SCD, trader Speaks, etc.., Thank you my friends, Bill Hedin PS: My nomination for the next hobby icon article's our pal Bill Zimpleman. He's a class act if there ever was one. Knowledgible, friendly, and a person who simply makes you feel what a wonderful hobby we are involved with.

As I've gotten to know Bill Z better
We have a great time at every National talking about --- OLD Rock and Roll Music -- after all who cares about these funny pictures featuring men when we can discuss the great PBS shows on older music that BIll was lucky enough to be in the audience for.....
He has made me some air check tapes in the past and at one show, we were talking about music when I metioned that so and so dealer from Colorado (whom Bill had known for years) was a host of an weekly oldies show. The next day, Bill told me that he went over there and chatted about music for a couple of hours and arranged to get some music for said dealer to play on his radio show. Those are some of my favorite memories of Bill Z Rich

Rich, you are so right about Bill Z!
Rich,
I really enjoyed your post! When I met Bill for the first time at a show outside Cincinnati we talked music over a few drinks. He's the true expert! I mentioned that I was looking for a soundtrack of The Falcon and the Snowman to Bill. A week later he sent it to me at no charge. On cards, he was the first and biggest type card collector I ever met. We definitely need to nominate him for George's next article! Have a great weekend, Rich. I start opening Topps series 2 on Monday so I'll have cards to send you in a week! Your Friend, Bill Hedin Those are some of my favorite memories of Bill Z Rich[/QUOTE]
