When I saw this story break on CNN yesterday, I knew it would be only a matter of time before it would be talked about here. Sure enough, that is the case. But more importantly, there is enough big-time hobby expertise here, that, as Paul Harvey used to say, "Now, the rest of the story..."

Had to show my family this article, just in case I find a Million dollar card!

Wow! Covid-19 does still suck though

The collection is listed in a new Memory Lane Auction that opens later this week. Some amazing looking cards.

Preview is open now and it is mind blowing

I once commented to another Net54er that, based on all the cards and collections I have seen on these Boards, my collection is in the "C/C- " range.

What I just perused of Dr. Newman's collection on the Memory Lane site just destroyed the grading curve...

just really fantastic...and by all accounts he really enjoyed collecting it and sharing it

I'm only on page two, and I'm floored. His Turkey Red collection was ridiculous.

I certainly feel for his family (and yes, Covid sucks. One of my best friends lost his father, and his fiancee lost her father, as well), and it's clear he was loved and respected.

A lot of people will see dollar signs with these cards. I see a man that pursued his passion, and pursued it with patience and great care. His was a life well-lived.

omgggggg... the only thing that I saw that was an error was lot #89, a novelty cutlery PC805 Walter Johns(t)on being listed as a PC796.

i can't wait to see these prices.
