Rob was letting me post on his site, though I haven't had time to submit anything for a while. I'm fine with your posting any of my old JBE newsletters, they were a lot of fun to do.

They make for some interesting reading on the early days of the hobby. Ralph has interviews with Mel Bailey, Bud Ackerman (early importers of cards including the 1967 Kabaya-Leaf set) and John Sipin (who played for the Whales and Giants in the 1970's). <br /><br />I had told my wife about how many posts Ralph had done for Rob's blog. When I got an email from Rob about something, my wife asked if I was sure it was from Rob or if Ralph wrote it for him :-)<br />NPB Card Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01178497208404127283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480658377503163749.post-24926401542386873052013-09-16T12:51:54.035-04:002013-09-16T12:51:54.035-04:00I've enjoyed Ralph's posts to Rob Fitts...I've enjoyed Ralph's posts to Rob Fitts' blog. Maybe we can convince Ralph to scan and post some issues of his old newsletter someday. I always like seeing the details filled in for various bits of the hobby.Jason Presleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13543465200431539036noreply@blogger.com
