I met Al on a bus ride from the Chicago Sportscard convention (might have been a National) probably 15 years ago, and within a few dozen words knew the kind of man he is.
Since then only spoken a few times here and there electronically (he remembered our short meeting nearly 10 years after..) but told him a while back that if I ever let go of my collection, he'd be the guy I wanted to bring it to Auction.
Well, finally made that rather difficult decision and LOTG will reintroduce some things I've really enjoyed over very many years to the marketplace.
A man's word is his bond and Al walks through life that way. Only knows one way and will work VERY hard to make LOTG a place collectors can feel great going about what they love to do. The above statement he's made takes a confident step in that direction.
