Bob Lemke Leaves SCD/Standard Catalog
Summer 2006

Surprising and bittersweet news from the world of The Standard Catalog...
Bob Lemke, one of our hobby's true gurus, has left SCD and The Standard Catalog for different horizons. I wrote to newly-appointed editor T.J. O'Connell (yes, that T.J. O'Connell) and expressed my concerns that perhaps our advocate had fallen ill. I'm relieved and pleased to say that Bob is doing well physically, he's just moved to a different publishing company.

I've had the opportunity to speak with Bob over the years and believe me when I say: He's one of the nicest guys in our hobby today. You'll be hard pressed to find another more knowledgeable, friendly, and conscientious collector. In fact, it's due in large part to Bob that I was inspired to create this webpage. So if you found any value from this fansite - send a silent thanks to Bob Lemke.

Thanks for everything Bob! If you're reading this - you'll always be "The Man" as far as I'm concerned.

Collector's Note: If you're already a reader of the SCD - I encourage you to welcome Mr. Don Fluckinger as the new editor of The Standard Catalog's Price Guide.
