Larry Frisch Cards..what happened ??

[Ladder7]

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.

Dolloff is still selling cards through his catalogs.

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.

Here's their website http://www.fritschcards.com/

There's a link in the website where you can request a catalog, if that suits anyone

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 was at his shop in the late 90's. It was out in the middle of nowhere and difficult to find. The shop was attached to his warehouse and the shop was about the size of a large bathroom, and very few cards were displayed. Someone came from the warehouse and seemed annoyed that I had walked in. I was looking for a few cards, and he went in the warehouse and came out with a few. I bought a couple, basically because I spent so much time trying to find the shop and I had driven over 100 miles to get there. I never did see Larry or his son.

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.
