Default Marco Rol

The CSASHOWS.COM website is reporting that Marco Rol died on December 18th.

In my opinion, Marco ran the best show in the country and helped my collection by bringing in great guests. He was also just a really nice guy. My condolences to his family and friends.

Sad to hear that. He build that show into a real mainstay. I didn't get many autographs there, but the lineup of autograph guests over the years was just amazing. RIP and condolences to his family and others close to him.

Marco was a very nice guy and ran a very successful show in Chantilly for many years. RIP.

Really sorry to hear this. Marco was a great guy.

I lived in C'ville and, as a regular at the store not far from Grounds, sold him a bunch of stuff in the 1980s at Southern Cards to pay for my UVa tuition, though he knew I'd cherry pick any '57s he got in. Regret selling my Starr RC but needed the money. It was a good place to hang and we always spoke for years at Chantilly.

He built something really lasting in this hobby with a personal touch that is getting rarer and rarer. Condolences to Angie and the family.

We ran together for a lot of years. We co-promoted his first show and I worked in marketing his shows for him for a long time. A true friend and a fascinating guy. Our boys were about the same age and would play together at a lot of his shows. I had some wonderful memories of Marco and his family.
