These results came mostly from Frank Lowman, of Chicago, who was my main source of Chicago
wrestling in 1960. Larry Lewis also sent me some of the same cards.
The web site of Tim Hornbaker produced 3 cards not given by others.
The two Marigold cards came from a person unknown. Someone sent me a couple of his Marigold
sheets.
I used ProQuest for some of the cards reported by the Chicago Tribune.
