Sadly a Good Net54 Friend Has Passed Away - RIP Jantz Morey aka Jantz

[Northviewcats]

I'm so sad to hear that Jantz passed away. I sat next to him at the Net54 dinner at the last Nationals that were held in Cleveland. He was very friendly and asked if I bought anything at the show. I sheepishly showed him a low grade Cy Young T206 that I had purchased that afternoon and expressed concerns that I had overpaid. He immediately replied, "Joe, I would be proud to have that card in my collection." His affirmation made me feel like a million bucks.

I have always appreciated his comments on the board, and he always responded in his posts with knowledge and kindness--a rare combination.

He will be in my prayers. God bless him and his family.

Unreal...way too young.

I only dealt with him once but it was such an enjoyable transaction, on some signed baseballs that he won in a charity auction on my behalf.
I wish I had followed up more on our newfound kinship, as he had a certain coolness to him that I envy.

RIP from a Net54 bro.

Shocking to read this very sad news. Way too young.

What an outstanding member and person. He will be missed. RIP bro!

I didn't know Jantz or Maines other than from this board. Sad news. I know they were vintage card experts. Sad day.
