[Michael Peich]

I am very sorry to learn of John's passing. I met him at my first National and bought some T206s from him. The following year I was interested in M116s and he had quite a few that ended up in my collection, although what I remember most was his knowledge and insights about the set. The last time I saw him he had CJs, especially Federal League players, that no one seemed interested in. I bought a number of those from him at what seemed, in hindsight, extremely reasonable prices. He had a real sense of what was undervalued, and shared that with me and others.

He was a good man and a fun person to be around.

Rest in peace, John,
Mike
