1970 Topps Football - Bill Haber
Bill Haber was a serious baseball scholar and one of the founding members of SABR. One of his passions was adding and correcting existing data on major leaguers-- making several player identifications or adding/correcting season statistics. Before his untimely death he completed some of the most difficult T and E card sets. As a Topps employee he was responsible for bringing much of the test/proof/error Topps material into the hobby. The 1973 Topps 1953 retro set was his skunk works project.
He gained a measure of cardboard immortality when he donned a football helmet to appear as the featured player on the 1970 Topps football box. I remember him as a good friend and an outstanding collector.
