Chris- I would give anything to go back a few years to John's warehouses in No. Little Rock when he purchased the inventory of Sports Collectors Store and B&E.
I saw publications (in duplicate) that I may never see again. If I had to do it over again I would take out a second mortgage.
My daughter and I spent many days there sorting for John with our lunch in an ice chest. I know you and Mike Sanders spent many days there too!
Not a nicer fellow in the hobby on either the collecting or business end.
If any of you get the chance to speak with John ask him to tell you the story about the time the ATF Officers surrounded his house one morning! John had purchased a large group of firearms in a movie prop auction but did not know he needed to be registered as a firearms dealer. It's a great story.
