Steve Jones
(aka: "scrapbookbuyer") |
For taking the time to identify, scan, and send
to me 9 images that were
originally needed for the Satire - Part 1 series and another 8 images
originally needed for Satire - Part 2, in the early days of this site,
before I was fortunate enough to add those cards to my own collection. |
Greg Q. ArBuckle
(aka: "arbycoffee") |
Greg was a huge help in the early days of this
site, suppling 10 images that were needed at the time for the Satire -
Part 2 series, 2 images for the Miscellany - Unnumbered series, 1
Satire card for the Short Sets category, 12 of the Tuck Art Types, 14
cards for the "Counter" cards group, 12 of the images for Rolled White Oats
(Non-Coffee), 7 of the "Vesta"
Laundry Soap cards (Non-Coffee), 10 of the Arbuckle & Co.'s Candies
cards (Non-Coffee), and even the first Arbuckles' "JAV-OCHA" Coffee card I had
ever seen. Whew!!
These were fantastic and greatly appreciated additions to the site! |
Ron Schieber
(aka: "madmoneyetc") |
For
taking the time to identify, scan, transcribe, and send to me 5 images
that were needed for Satire - Part 1, as well as one image for Cooking,
two for Miscellany - Numbered, and an extraordinary 25
for Miscellany - Unnumbered. Those images came in very handy back in
the days when I was initially building this site, before I was able to
add many of those cards to my own collection. Ron has also provided
images for several "back-of-the-book" cards and some wonderful posters
promoting various card sets. |
Martin Murray
(aka: "Murray Cards (Int) Ltd") |
For taking the time to review his extensive
collection and stock to assist in identifying varieties that have come
to light for individual cards and entire series, particularly the Copyright
text variations in Sports & Pastimes. |
Jerry Anderson
(aka: "jerry-anderson") |
For taking the time to
provide the measurements of
the various Copyright lines that I've included on the Copyright
text variations page in Sports & Pastimes, and to
help in
identifying which cards exist with which varieties.
Jerry was also kind enough to loan me his collection of Zoological
cards, so that I could scan images of several of his cards that were in
better condition than mine. This also resulted in identifying another
card in the series that definitely exists with significant variations
in the border color.
Jerry's diligent research succeeded in tracking down microfilm copies
of Texas Siftings which resulted in his
identification of ALL of the original source issues for the Satire
cards which used cartoons first published therein. That information and
images of those cartoons have been added to the corresponding page for
each card. Jerry also located many of the original Judge
source issues which I had been unable to find, as well as a number of Puck's
Library issues containing reprints of the original Puck
cartoons.
Jerry continues to support this site with images, comments, research
and other assistance as his own Arbuckle collection continues to grow. |
