I'm not sure why this is an intellectually rewarding exercise, but assuming it is, let me add two more board members: Jay Miller and Hal Lewis. And for the all-time greatest collection ever built, I will nominate Corey Shanus. He is modest and collects a bit under the radar, so most only know a little about what he has. |

Just a suggestion - but what about the gentlemen whos names appear on the early cards? I can't remember them all by name, but isn't there a Squires (sp?). Certainly they warrant consideration as they collected during distribution. In fact, there is a sect (albeit small) who collect the cards once owned by these mystery writers simply because these early pioneers wrote their names on their collections. |

Thanks Ted, but I don't really collect anymore. If you add up all the things that I've had at one time or another, yes, it would be pretty impressive. But more often than not those items would get sold. But I'm glad you remembered Macrae. And let's not forget Gary Cypres, who not only has one of the greatest collections in the world, he also shares it with the public, especially school children. That in itself is worth some points. |

Though, any average schmuck of modest means, that can; Build a respectable prewar collection through buying, trading and selling, without compromising the family's money and social needs. Now that person, is the greatest collector. |

First off, Scott B. mentions Jim Montgomery, a name I have not heard in a long while. Jim and I traded a few times about 10 years ago and as I recall he had a fantastic collection of pre and post war. |

I consider myself to be an average schmuck but in no way should be included. (Thanks anyway Joe for the nomination). Now maybe if we had a Top 500 I might get squeezed in. |

I remember an old Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes movie with an elderly rich guy who collected music boxes. A pretty woman asked to buy one of his boxes. He told her he couldn't sell it as a collector can never sell anything he collects. I was struck by his definition of collecting ... To end the story, the woman killed him and took the box. |

As an aside to this topic, I would love to see some of these collectors and their collections featured in Old Cardboard articles. Not just a paragraph or two, but a nice article with photos detailing how they got started in the hobby, what their favorite sets are, how they acquired their cards, etc. Once in a while articles like that appear in publications, but unfortunately it seems it's usually after the person has died. |

Screw the top-100 greatest. Who are the biggest smart asses in the hobby who serve little purpose other than to irritate people? I want a list that I can be a part of! |

To David's mention of the Holmes movie, it's called 'Dressed to Kill', 1946, it was the last Holmes movie of that series and in my opinion, the best. I accidently saw it on late night cable when I turned to the channel thinking it was the dePalma film of the same title with Angie Dickinson and Michael Caine. |

The whole card collecting hobby wouldnt be the same without people like Walter Corson , Gene De Nardo and Charles Bray . Also there were lots of cross over collectors who collected all sorts of cards we will never know their names . |

Excellent choices Rob. Both had monumental collections. Of course they created them, which puts them in their own category. Harry Wright didn't collect Harry Wright scorecards- he wrote them! |

Nice ones. Those are 3 that have flown under the radar of discussions but are great choices, and from what I have heard, are in the group of original hobby pioneers. I take my hat off to men like that....regards |

Can you imagine 65 years ago... some of the collecting pioneers shrugging their heads at those colorful 1941 Playball cards and telling each other "I don't want that shiney crap..." |
