Bob used to turn up amazing stuff all the time but was in the middle of a couple of controversial things such as the Gretzky Wagner and the stolen HOF WS programs. I used to go there all he time in the 80's and it was the first card ship I went to when I re-entered in 1981. At that time he shared the shop with Marty Perry, who occasionally still pops up.
Bob never deflected attention from that card in the time I was going there 1988-until he retired and moved. He was proud of it, would show me pictures, and talk about it frequently. I didn't know he was involved in stolen WS programs, but I am not surprised. Stuff used to walk in his door all the time, and he would buy it. I guess you are likely to occasionally inadvertently purchase something stolen when you make a lot of purchases like that.
