I don’t have it handy (it’s in a box at the top of my closet), but I bought a 1950s Dodgers scrapbook with a ton of clippings of Snider and Koufax (my two main PCs) from him for $10. “It’s probably only worth that to the right person,” he said to me when I asked about the price.

I bought a lot of neat items from Chandy.
As I am mostly a reseller, I no longer have any of these or pictures of them but these were my top buys. 1. 1930's autograph book with about 250 autos including a single signed Babe Ruth page along with team sheets from most major league teams including Pirates with Wagner. Purchased for $1000 about 20 years ago. 2. 1962 Salada 200 coin set in original box. NM Purchased for $1000 also 20 years or so ago. 3. 1953 and 1954 Topps empty 1 cent boxes in EX Condition. Purchased for $350 for the pair again many years ago. These 3 items stick out in my mind as the best purchases I got from him but I bought many bulk deals from him over the years as well. Special guy who I have not seen in a few years but was truly a nice man who will be missed for more than just his collectibles. He always spoke highly of his two daughters and wife and was proud of his family. Prayers for them during this trying time.

Chandy was that rare person in the hobby, knowledgeable, respectful, and willing to help all collectors.
Dr. Beckett and I taped a tribute to Chandy for his podcast yesterday. And from reading these comments and other comments I knew from over the years that he always had time to contribute to the hobby, he will be missed. May his memory be for a blessing Rich

Chandy was a great guy. I bought many publications from him over the 30 plus years that I've known him.

Don't think I ever had any dealings with Chandy, but he was probably set up at every show I ever did over a couple of decades, and I always enjoyed seeing the crowds going through his many boxes of raw material. A real throwback to the old days, and nobody will replace him. I know it's a process, not a revolution, but it's hard for me not to see the passing from shows of Bill Huggins and Chandy so close together as part of a generational turnover in the hobby, one I'm very saddened to see. RIP.
