Very sorry to hear this. He loved cards for what they are, not for what they're worth. That's collecting in its purest sense and the hobby will greatly miss this true icon. |

Corey made a great point...Carter sold his collection for a few million dollars, but if he hadn't experienced that awful robbery, he still would rather have kept his cards. |

And the hobby has lost one of the original pioneers who was there to help nurture and grow what was a small passion from a few to what we have today. |

That uniform also tells us Mr. Carter was a true hero. He served our country in combat during wartime. The Combat Infantryman’s Badge (rifle in a blue background with silver garland around it) means…or used to mean…he served at least thirteen months in an infantry unit, in combat, under fire. The farthest ribbon, top left, is a bronze star. It needs no description. I believe the others are WWII service ribbons. |

Mr.Carter was what I consider one of the Old Guard. They just don't make them like that anymore. True character and integrity from the "old world", when times were a bit simpler. Our world is less of a place today because of this loss. My prayers are with Ms.Irma in this time of sorrow...I very much 2nd what Bob said right above this post...regards |

My condolences and warm wishes towards Mr. Carter's friends and family. From what I understand, he was a great person and a great American Hero. It was a blessing that he was able to live such a full life, but a sad thing that he is gone. He will be missed on this earth and by the hobby. Warm wishes to all who knew him. |

can someone tell the story of why his collection was sold? i don't know very much about mr. carter other than that he is a hobby legend and is either single handedly or partly responsible for the designations of most sets. |

Jay, no, his collection WAS stolen but miraculously was returned intact. He then decided it was too risky to keep it. |

i've never met him, but through all of the articles and pictures and his cards, it seems like i have. Like said before, he was a true collector that did it 100% for the love of the cards and not the money. Best wishes to his wife. Hopefully his book (military) will one day be published. |

I wish I could have met him to talk about the hobby.It would have been fun to talk about how he collected , remember opening packs,the excitement of hoping a certain find would be waiting in one of those. What the new looks would be, where he purchased, etc... |

This man was amazing and that is obvious by how he has touched us all either directly or through his collectiong. I am sure most if not all of us have 1 or more cards from his collection and I know that the ones I have carry a special meaning that is more then just the card and the slab. |

This picture of him in uniform(note the C.I.B. badge) is better than ALL he collected. Many Americans today would do well to follow in his proud footsteps.. |

I was also sorry to hear about Carter's death. It would have been great to talk cards with him. My dad is 86 and he recalls trying to find card # 106 in the 1933 Goudey set. He went to WWII and came home and all his cards were throw away. I started up again in 1958. |
