This is actually a great suggestion. I cannot tell you how many times I watched him hocking his wares at midnight when I was a young collector. The man actually made me want to buy Classic and Pro Set cards.

Jefferson Burdick will definitely be a top consideration. But I have heard some questions about his impact on post-war cards.
How does he score on all the listed criteria categories... My opinion is he is clearly one of the most important contributors in our industry's history. But there can only be four... I would think he is a definite possibility. |

Sy Berger
Jim Beckett Richard McWilliam Jefferson Burdick And while these guys don't get my vote, the list should have included Frank H. Fleer, Alan Hager (creator of the card grading scale and slabbing), Larry Fritsch, and Bill Mastro.

Berger, Beckett, Berkus, Odymaar are my four.
Each of the four brought their own significant contributions to the hobby and were very important in moving it along at a certain point in time. Berger created the modern day baseball card. Beckett told us how to value our cards and was the premier magazine for years. Berkus founded the biggest and best sports card show in the world. Odymaar started what is now known to be the modern day real time price guide and helps connect collectors all over the world. Definitely good arguments for others, but I don’t see anybody cracking those four.
