I echo the positive things that others have said about Jimmy - I have had some of my favorite photo conversations with Jimmy, and he has always been very respectful of my opinion, even though we don't always agree on certain aspects of the hobby. Same is true for Ben and David - we have some incredibly knowledgeable people on this side of the forum, and also some really good people.

Those were reasons he left from what I saw, but to Ben, I do apologize and if Jimmy is reading to him too, and Leon as well.
Too much personal bad stuff and I let it spill over here. UNCALLED FOR again.

Seriously though.. that picture of Jimmy with those photos. Every photo is a monster in its own way. Such an impressive display. And a GREAT story of building a world class collection with honesty, hard work, limited means and passion. I am glad to call the guy my friend.

I spoken to Jimmy in a while, but he is THE man!
It's really his fault for getting me into vintage photography as well. Up until interacting with him here, my collection of Gehrig items was more scattered. Seeing his photos and learning about them really helped, though I'm not sure that is really the right word, me focus much more on these beauty's. I love cards, but there is something about the photos that add something extra to the feeling I get when adding something new. I think he stopped posting here for a few reasons, but perhaps the most likely is that his focus shifted to Beatles items. In honor of the many great posts and friendship Jimmy provided, I am posting 2 things. First is the painting I commissioned Graig Kreindler to make from Jimmy's 1925 Conlon image. Here is the original picture Kreindler  Second is very likely my most favorite picture of all. He traded this to me with a very heavy heart. Gehrig with Christy Walsh's son. Obtained originally from the Walsh family. Come to think about it. If Jimmy picked up a new Gehrig, he should be posting it here to show it off.
