I finally made the time to check out the forum after hearing some many good things about FCB on some of the sites I haunt.

My name is Bob Lemke. In 1980 I was the founding editor of Baseball Cards Magazine, and in 1981 became editor, later publisher, of Sports Collectors Digest and half a dozen other card magazines in the 1980s and 1990s.

I was, until 2006, editor of the Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards, then left the full-time employ of F+W/Krause/SCD. I returned earlier this year on an extremely part-time basis as editor of the vintage major and minor league sections of the "Big Book." I am also a consignment director for Collect.com Auctions. I maintain a blog about cards and memorabilias at boblemke.blogspot.com.

Actual collecting of cards is no longer my hobby focus. In my spare time I create custom cards, usually in classic baseball and football designs. Some samples are in my sig line. As soon as I figure out how to post a link to my Photobucket pages, where many of my custom cards are pictured, I'll do so.

It's good to be here, expanding my range.

Sorry this appeared on a thread of its own; I intended it to appear in the welcome thread at the top of the page.

Welcome, I still have boxes of my old SCD's from the 80's in my parents basement. Are they worth anything? :lol:

Welcome Mr. Lemke!

I'm a big fan of your work and time on Baseball Cards Magazine - without it, I highly doubt that I'd still be collecting cards. Baseball Card Magazine was my introduction to this entire hobby when I was eleven years old. I miss that magazine dearly.

Best,
George

Welcome to the site. I'm a big fan of the SCD Big Book. Browse all sports, and keep an eye out for other folks' custom cards. There are some really talented people here who do some great work with cut signatures and such.
