Default The death this afternoon of Barry Halper, 65
Posted By: barrysloate

This is truly sad news, and it touches me personally. I, along with Rob Lifson, Don Lepore, and many others, catalogued Barry's collection for Sotheby's during most of 1999. Barry was always proud of my strong interest in 19th century baseball and encouraged me to continue studying the early game. It was the only opportunity I ever got to interact with him personally. He was very passionate about the game of baseball and it is hard to imagine a more dedicated collector. I send his entire family my condolences and know how much he will be missed.
