Very sad to hear this, Terry. My condolences to you and your family.

I bought a few cards from your dad over the years and always enjoyed dealing with him.

Regards,

I am so sorry to hear your dad past. wow, I can recall always being fascinated by his table and he was so nice to me even though I was hardly a big spender way back when but he would take the time to answer all of my questions. You cold hear it in his voice he sold what he did.

My heart goes out to you and your family.

The hobby has lost one of it's truly good guys. He was always there at the National as a reminder of the way the hobby once was and should be. He sold me my first Yum Yum back in the 90s and was always a pleasure to deal with. He will be missed.

I am far right as an honorary TIK N TIK. Picture is from the first issue of old cardboard. Sorry for the quality.

Best national ever. Got a large GQ Connor from Terry at this one. I believe they had the T206 Wagner meet up also. Must’ve been 25 Wagner’s in the room. Terry had so many N173’s at this show it was crazy.


Thanks for the memories Terry!


Regards,
Connor

In honor of PA native Terry Knouse- bumping the thread one more time-With the Philly show this weekend I felt it appropriate. I met Terry when I was 10 years old at the old fort Washington show which was a phenomenal show for vintage. Although Terry hasn’t done Philly show in many years- still missing his presence as I walked the floor. RIP.

Some 25 years ago, Terry was the go-to-guy on 19th century stuff. I always wondered how he kept such a full inventory when he had such a broad customer base. But he did!
He was such a pleasure to deal with. I remember once when we were both set up at a show in Schenectady, NY. Somehow we did a deal whereby I traded my nice set of N29's, including a beautiful Ewing, for his raw joe Jackson Boston Stores. No intermediaries, just 2 guys trading cards.
Rest easy, Terry, your place in the hobby hall of fame is secure.

U guys were missed at the nat'l...and Terry will be sorely missed...but never forgotten!!! My condolences to you and your family. I just won this cool leather from u giuys!

Dear Terry - Joe T. here & I wanted to express my deepest condolences for your dad’s passing. I true hobby icon, I can still remember seeing a stack of W600 cabinets in their original glassine envelopes & T3 proofs in his Fort Washington PA. showcase. I can certainly attribute a significant portion of my cardboard passion to the many conversations I had with your father, for he always had the faith of a child when discussing the hobby. He truly transcended the art of collecting and his legacy will live on forever. I’m going to steal a quote from the great Johnny Bench who uttered these eloquent words in reference to the passing of the immortal Tom Seaver - for they surely justify why your dad was loved by so many: “For those who knew him, no words are necessary….for those who didn’t, no words could ever be adequate!”

God Bless you & your family today, tomorrow….always.

In the utmost sincerity,
Joe
