Default Rip Fred Young (Goldenage50s)

I haven't seen this posted anywhere so I apologize if it already was. But I was just thinking about how I used to see Fred post auctions seemingly almost daily, and that he hasn't posted since late 2024. So I googled his name and unfortunately found this.

I didn't know him well but know many of you did and would like to know this. I liked reading his auction posts, they were funny, e.g. Bidding starts at the coveted $7 bill.

Rip.

Bought several things from Fred...I echo thoughts many have already made...super nice man, and always a nice note with items. Did not know him personally...proud to own some of his earliest cards and will miss him.

I didn’t know him, but his BST posts would always bring a smile. May God bless and comfort his family and friends left behind.

Sad news. He was such a nice guy. When I started on net54 I participated in his auctions and bought cards from him. He was always welcoming and fun to have a conversation with.

RIP Fred

Dang, this is indeed sad news. Like many here, we knew Fred best and most frequently
in the old eBay Sports Cards & Memorabilia forum. He was always the friendliest and funniest guy
on that often contentious board. Condolences and sympathies to his family and friends.
