Barry Halper - Barry's passion came to encompass every sort of memorabilia: artwork, autographs, photographs,
uniforms, newsreels, books, movie posters, ticket stubs, and one of a kind memorabilia. Halpers sagga began in
1968 when he bought a collection of baseball cards, spanning the entire twentieth century. Much of Halper's collection is on display in Cooperstown, New York at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
Miriam Jacobs - Dayton, Ohio philanthropist Miriam Jacobs was in many ways ahead of her time. Jacobs began
her collection by writing letters to baseball players, coaches and managers. Through out the years she recived
hundreds of autographs back in the mail. Along with her autograph collection she collected thousands of baseball
cards dating to the turn of the century. Her collection is now housed at the University of Dayton Roesch Library.
