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.

Those reprints caused many new collectors a lot of grief.

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.

The mystery about Fritsch Cards is what do they really have? At one time Larry bought out the entire collection of John England which was in the millions of dollars and included arguably the best collection of Zeenuts East of Mark Macrae, along with many, many sets of prewar tobacco and caramel cards. Supposedly these went in to Larry's personal collection and were not parceled for sale. Supposedly. It would be interesting for curiosity's sake to know if this is true and Larry's family still has the great personal collection they once had or if these went in to the cards which were sold through the years.

Been to Fritches shop before. It was basically ran out of his basement and was disorganized like most shops. Saw it in maybe ti early to mid 90's out in the country near Stevens Point. Not much to look at in my opinion.

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. |
