Jimmy's one of the good guys in the hobby. There's not much out there that he can't find, whether it's by internet, auctions or by networking. Truly remarkable.

I'll echo the thoughts of many here...he is a great guy and was a great poster...I'm not sure why he left, but he started some of the best threads on the memorabilia side. Maybe someday he will return.

He got offended when some questioned why he would/could pay more money than some would kill for to pay bills for a photo.

He was offended easily if someone questioned a photo, etc. But, that said, he has GREAT taste and if he is fortunate enough to be not basically living day to day, then enjoy the hobby. He was/is as passionate for what he collects as anyone probably is.

LOL... it has NOTHING to do with this incoherant nonsense. Your problems are yours.... Enough said/time taken on that. Just...WOW.
SMH

I will agree however, he has GREAT taste and is a very passionate collector.

STILL...SMH

Default Jimmy

Jimmy has been one of the biggest helps to me in learning about photos and is a class act second to none. Between Rhys, Ben and Jimmy, you could not find a better grouping of people leading this part of the hobby.
