Larry was one of the first real dealers as most everyone knows. I am sure from what I am reading once he passed his family tried to modernize the business and it will never be the same.
P.S. I remember buying my 1970-74 sets from him and then trying to put my own sets together from packs. (Putting a set together from packs was a lot more fun than having the whole set series by series)CN

I still get their catalogs a couple of times a year. It's great to flip through as I enjoy that type of thing, but I've only made one purchase from them and that was years ago. I'm glad that the family decided to continue the business, and I think the niche that they cornered with reprint and oddball sets more covers their operating costs. IF they ever do decide to sell out it will be one heck of a fire sell.

I believe that a small portion of their inventory was in an auction house catalog a few years ago (maybe unopened material ???). If they ever decide to sell everything else all at once, the auction catalog might be like 12 inches thick.

Does anyone remember a New Hampshire (I think) dealer named Doloff? Similar type of business, catalog sales, although perhaps not on the same massive scale.

I remember Doloff. I bought cards off of him in SCD ages ago. Larry Fritsch was one of the first dealers I bought cards from. I remember paying $20 for a '75 topps set around 1977. Over the years though his prices got to be a bit high and I seldom bought from him anymore.
