Does anybody that know's Brooks Newell know how he's doing these days? I hung out with him at a few Nationals and lost track of him after he sold off his collection. Great guy!

Unfortunately Brooks passed away a few years ago. He was a really good guy but often misunderstood. He was also almost legally blind which is unusual for a card collector. He did have a really great type card collection, especially 19th century. RIP Brooks....
