Updated Oct 30, 2006 PRIORITY SETS: 1959-1964

Founder, President, and no longer the only member of the Official Billy Hoeft Fan Club. EEK and Mike Rich have muscled their way in. And in late-breaking news, Billy Hoeft Jr. is now a member....it was a landslide vote. And on the Billy Newswire, Billy's son Terry is home from the Gulf, and it has been confirmed that he wants in too. Time to get membership cards printed I guess.

Any and all Billy items will be given a wonderful new home, pictures, articles, whatever!

I need: '57 Graphic Arts Postcard #11, '61? Jay Publishing (Photo Pack), and any other odds and ends I may have missed.
