I had a relative that helped run a monthly BB card show at the Golden Gate Motel in Brooklyn for several years in the 70,s and as a teenager I helped set up the show and my face got well known so many dealers would ask me to sit their tables while they went to get something to eat and I would usually get "paid" in the form of a card that I needed. I remember Frank and his wife Vivian when they started their paper BHN. They were 2 of the nicest people at the shows. I knew they relocated from Nassau County to San Diego but it is great to hear that Frank is doing well. CN

It's good to hear that both Frank and Vivian are doing well, while I never met either of them, my uncle used to sell/distribute the Baseball Hobby News in this part of Ohio. I helped him and as I remember, I was paid in cards.
It was interesting work doing cold calls on hobby shops and showing them the BHN as well as card packs to sell. We started off with giving them some freebies and then they were hooked as they saw how easily both the cards and the BHN would sell. Good memories. RC

Frank & Vivian setup at the Plymouth, Michigan many times. My daughter's photo was in one issue from one of those shows.

Rich,
Thank you for posting that. I lost track of Frank and Vivian when they stopped selling on ebay a few years ago. I met both of them when they moved to San Diego in 1982, and would see them at all the shows in/around town, and would usually find something interesting to buy from them. I've yet to meet two nicer people in the hobby. It's great to see they're both doing well. Steve

Nice to hear they are doing well.
I haven't thought about Baseball hobby News in years I started collecting as a 10 yr old in '76 and kept it up until the 1990's. I got back into it 5 or so years ago. Pretty much kept alot of my cards. I read everything possible back then missed the publications.
