I've been on Brigandi's e-mail list for a long time but I haven't gotten one in about a year.

What about Tony Galovich and Rick Salvino?

I heard that Mr. Galovich had passed but I'm not 100 percent sure

What about TJ Schwartz? He used to write a column in Tuff Stuff that I enjoyed reading. Was it called 'On Your Side'?

Yes, the column was titled "On Your Side". Each month, I looked forward to reading the column. After one issue (Mantle restaurant chair) I emailed TJ and he responded! He is still out there.

Note that he last posted on Instacart in 2016 and I believe the location of his shop is now a hookah place.

I believe TJ passed away in 2022. Might have even been mentioned on here at one point.

I thought I had heard Mike Wheat passed 1-2 years ago but I'm not totally sure

Does anyone know if Roger Neufeldt is still active as a dealer? He used to be at the Philly Show but I haven't seen him there in years.

Roger does not travel nearly as much as he used to but he's doing fine and sets up at the Dallas Card Show every 2 months. Always good to see him and his crew,

Does anyone know anything about Harvey Brandwein of National Pastime? My Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Ty Cobb signed official Harridge AL ball was authenticated by him. I got this ball at the Chanute AFB PX back in the 1980s. I didn't buy it from him, but he was there. Last I heard he was still around and doing alright.

Roger was one of my favorite old-time (pre-internet) dealers to deal with. I used to buy from him at St. Louis shows back in the early/mid 90's. Over half my 55 Bowman baseball set came from Roger over the course of 3-4 shows and a couple of years. When I got into grading cards in the late 90's several of those 55 Bowman's I got from Roger pulled PSA 8's with a few 9's. I also bought my first T206 Lajoie from him. Roger was always friendly and great to deal with back in the day. Glad to here he's still in the game and doing well.

His web site is still up but definitely doesn't seem updated.

Back in the Teletrade Era I got quite a few prewar cards via online auctions from Jim Maxwell and Ginny Caputo out of Lampeter, PA. I think they are both still around selling antiques.
