My God, this is awful.

Since I came onboard this forum, it became clear that Ted was, as they say, a treasure, and in Ted that is no cliche. He truly was. No one fills those shoes in this hobby, ever. I had numerous interactions with Ted, no the least of which was him sending me an article he wrote about the 1953 Bowman set. We also discussed a mutual service duty station, Chanute Air Force Base, even though Ted was Air Force and I was Navy.

Something is forever lost when guys like Ted go. They just don't make people like him in our society anymore.

RIP, sir.

RIP Ted...you were one of the last of a dying breed...we bonded over the years over my disdain for T206(). I had the pleasure of meeting Ted a few times over the years at shows...I certainly enjoyed the time I had with him. Ted will be greatly missed! My thoughts are with his family and friends.

This hobby is every bit as much about the people as it is the cards. The hobby has lost one of the great people in it.

As I don't frequent this site as often as I did a number of years ago, I was shocked to take a look today and learn of Ted's passing. What knowledge he had for vintage cards, always looking for that something extra and sharing that with us on the board. I wish his family strength during this difficult time.

May his memory be for a blessing.

Dr. Beckett and I were on Hobby Hotline last Saturday and we did a tribute to Ted, while he was still with us. Our talking about Ted begins at about the 8:25 mark

I haven't seen Ted in a few years but I always looked forward to his visits at the National (and before that, at the Philly show). He was very encouraging to me when I was first starting Love of the Game, and always had a kind word and a smile. Condolences to his family and to his many, many friends.

Ted Z was a very loved person, He will be greatly missed.
I was checking out some of his posts and came across his most recent one (below). Haha, Ted Z talking Casey Stengel, gotta love it!

I should have qualified it....Stengel hit the 1st HR in the World Series at Yankee Stadium batting for the Giants.

SABR quote......
"Stengel’s inside-the-park home run in the ninth inning won Game One for McGraw’s Giants. The moment was
immortalized by a Damon Runyon column which began “This is the way old Casey Stengel ran yesterday.” Two
days later, Casey hit another home run in Game Three, giving the Giants a 1-0 victory."
