Amazingly my father grew up a block and a half from Jimmy in Boonton, NJ. Jimmy was about half way between my father's and my grandfather's age. All the kids knew him, and most had seen his amazing collection. Needless to say I gave my father a hard time for not informing me he knew someone with a collection like that, but congrats to Chuck on an amazing series of auctions.

Show 'em if ya got 'em!

The only active player in both the T206 and 1933 Goudey set, Jack Quinn. I'll never find a signed T206 of him, so this will have to do!

Born: July 1, 1883 in Stefurov, Slovakia
Died: April 17, 1946 in Pottsville, PA

Such a hard signature to find, and Uncle Jimmy had several!





...and Lefty Grove because, well.... he's LEFTY GROVE!

Jack Quinn died in Pottsville? That's where I'm from!

Thanks Scott. ... and I guess I should thank your dad too for keeping you in the dark!

Died of a heart attack before making it to auction most likely!

Every time uncle Jimmy's auction ended I would wait a week and call and ask for Stacey to see when the next auction would start. Thanks for keeping his story alive.
