Very saddening. I didn't know him personally but rather through the purchase of scarce non-sports cards on ebay years ago. We collected many of the same sets and I usually came out on the short end. Though I felt like he let me win occasionally.

Funny story. About 12-15 years ago there was a partial uncut sheet of N375 Breed of Dogs as a BIN of $500. I really wanted it and emailed hobby friends to sell some items to gather the necessary funds. When I knew I could pay for it 2-3 days later I was too late as Chad had seen it and made the purchase. I emailed him a few days later (easy since it was back when ebay IDs were your email address) and asked if he would resell it to me and I would give him an extra $50 over his costs for a quick profit. He politely responded with a "no thanks" saying that he liked it for his collection. About 6 months later I found out who he was and why he didn't bite at making a few extra bucks. LOL.
