ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Although the bulk of this site consists of images taken from my personal collection of Arbuckle trade cards, that collection is hardly complete. If this site is to become a truly comprehensive reference to the Arbuckle cards, assistance from my fellow collectors in providing images from their own collections, to fill the gaps in mine, will clearly be needed.
Any images contributed will be credited on the page where they're displayed, and each contributor's generosity will be noted here.
I would very much like to thank:
| Steve
Jones (aka: "scrapbookbuyer") |
For taking the time to identify, scan, and send to me 9 images that were originally needed for the Satire - Part 1 series and another 8 images originally needed for Satire - Part 2, in the early days of this site, before I was fortunate enough to add those cards to my own collection. |
| Greg
Q. ArBuckle (aka: "arbycoffee") |
Greg was a huge help in the early days of this site,
suppling 10 images that were needed at the time
for the Satire - Part 2 series, 2 images for the
Miscellany - Unnumbered series, 1 Satire card for
the Short Sets category, 12 of the Tuck Art
Types, 14 cards for the "Counter" cards
group, 12 of the images for Rolled White Oats (Non-Coffee), 7 of the "Vesta" Laundry Soap cards (Non-Coffee), 10
of the Arbuckle & Co.'s
Candies
cards (Non-Coffee), and the only images to date
of an Arbuckles' "JAV-OCHA" Coffee
card. Whew!! These were fantastic and greatly
appreciated additions to the site! Greg continues to contribute images of newly-discovered cards as they're added to his collection. |
| Ron
Schieber (aka: "madmoneyetc") |
For taking the time to identify, scan, transcribe, and send to me 5 images that were needed for Satire - Part 1, as well as one image for Cooking, two for Miscellany - Numbered, and an extraordinary 25 for Miscellany - Unnumbered. Those images came in very handy back in the days when I was initially building this site, before I was able to add many of those cards to my own collection. Ron has also provided images for several "back-of-the-book" cards and some posters promoting various card sets. |
| Martin
Murray (aka: "Murray Cards (Int) Ltd") |
For taking the time to review his extensive collection and stock to assist in identifying varieties that have come to light for individual cards and entire series, particularly the Copyright text variations in Sports & Pastimes. |
| Jerry
Anderson (aka: "jerry-anderson") |
For
taking the time to provide the measurements of
the various Copyright lines that I've included on
the Copyright text variations page in Sports &
Pastimes, and to help in identifying which cards
exist with which varieties. Jerry was also kind enough to loan me his collection of Zoological cards, so that I could scan images of several of his cards that were in better condition than mine. This also resulted in identifying another card in the series that definitely exists with significant variations in the border color. Jerry's diligent research succeeded in tracking down microfilm copies of Texas Siftings which resulted in his identification of ALL of the original source issues for the Satire cards which used cartoons first published therein. That information and images of those cartoons have been added to the corresponding page for each card. Jerry also located many of the original Judge source issues which I had been unable to find, as well as a number of Puck's Library issues containing reprints of the original Puck cartoons. Jerry continues to support this site with images, comments, research and other assistance as his own Arbuckle collection continues to grow. |
| Ian Woodyard | For taking the time to scan and send to me images of 11 cards from his collection which show non-Arbuckle usage (by the A. Dreyfus store in Alsace - Germany/France) for several Sports & Pastimes illustrations. |
| Randy
Webb (aka: "black-hole") |
For being a magnanimous auction winner (I being the gracious loser) and taking the time to scan and send me images of a beautiful Christmas "Counter" card. |
| Chuck
Millburn (aka: "cemillburn") |
For taking the time to identify, scan, and send to me an image of a printing error found on the Maryland card in the State Maps series. Chuck has also provided images for several nice "Counter" cards and reported a "brown-backed" version of the Siberia card in National Geographical which I hadn't previously run across. |
| Ray
Kowal (aka: "alsipguy") |
For being a magnanimous auction winner (I being the gracious loser) and taking the time to scan and send me images of an attractive botanical "Counter" card. |
| John Kemler (aka: "genghiskhan") |
For supplying me with a photo of a beautiful poster distributed by Arbuckles' promoting the Cooking series. |
