Absolutely and glad I had the chance to meet/talk with him at the Philly shows. Definitely a very positive guy and knowledgeable about the hobby.

I don't have a card that Ted gave me, but in a way, I do. We had a great conversation about Chanute AFB, in Illinois. Ted was in the Air Force, and went to his tech school at Chanute. I was in the Navy and went to my schools there, too. Just many years apart. Here is a photo of Ted at Chanute, and his civilian ID card with a good photo of him on it.

Ted was a great guy and a serious asset to the prewar community. If Ted was a baseball card, he would be a Cobb, Ty Cobb back or maybe an Eddie Collins proof!

Bought a bunch of stuff from Ted in my early years of returning to the hobby. My first was a T206 Mathewson black cap in 1997 at a card show at Union Catholic HS in Scotch Plains, NJ. He was always willing to chat about and help with hobby questions.
A great guy! Last edited by kkkkandp; 06-28-2025 at 08:03 AM. |

And miss his deep knowledge and research. Always fun to talk to at shows. His memory and all of v the knowledge he shared lives on here and I'm sure many other places.

I sure miss the Ted talk! Lots of great emails and messaging back in the old days and always down to help me with configurations on the original backs line, based on the cards I already had and very limited funds to build with.
As I had to liquidate my original group, I made sure that Ted got every card back that he had sold or traded to me. He got me good on a couple, including trading me 19 Morgan dollars to get his Lundgren CHI EPDG back! As I’m researching cards here now, it is amazing how many sets he had dug down into. So many of the old archived things I look at, he was all over. Ted was 100% right, T213-1’s ARE T206’s! Enjoy the weekend and stay cool, Bob
