Sad news...707 sportscards

[taul166]

Very sorry to hear this sad news. I spoke with him at the 707 booth at this year's National in Chicago, and made a purchase from him. Condolences to his family and his partners at 707. I don't want to get into the privacy of what happened, but does anyone know if his death was sudden.

I'm crushed. Jim was a big help to me and a fair and knowledgeable collector.

Apparently it was, yes.

I've known Jimmy since the Willow Grove days. Jimmy had an amazing memory for cards from 19th Century to the modern era. What was more important
was that he would enthusiastically share all his knowledge with you. We had some really great conversations...."Talkin' BB cards".

We did a lot of deals over the years, either at the Shows, or at 707's location, which is only a 40-minute drive from where I live. The last time I visited with
Jimmy, he told me he had a T206 that I didn't have. Then he went to the safe and pulled out a really sharp looking T206 Lajoie (with bat) with a UZIT back.

May GOD Bless your soul, Jimmy....and, may He comfort your family and all your friends.

Jim had forgotten more than I will ever learn. A void that can not be filled as he was a walking encyclopedia. A very willing mentor to all who sought his insights and knowledge.
