Cool thread. Ron Hammon passed away too....I think about 15 20 yrs now. The wags he had displayed in his store "Great American Pastime", was one I was very familiar with, (he didn't own it though).....seems to have vanished from the hobby scene. When Ron had his "Tally Hall" store I bought a whole book of 52 topps hi#s for 5 bucks a piece. They were actually placed back to back in pages. He was cool and had a collection that was staggering.....I was so envious that he had the little glendale salesman booklet that I needed for years. As I recall Ron was a retired Det. cop and had a third shop part owned by the fire commissioner. Ron's son was big into cards too...dont know what happened to him. Great picture.
