It is very sad to report that one of the great guys in this hobby has left us. Philly Show regulars since the early 1970's
will recall how Tony and his lovely wife Rose have made us appreciate the finer aspects of this hobby. Tony was always
very willing to share his extensive expertise on Vintage pre-war and post-war sportscards of all kinds. If you were look-
ing for a rare card (or some variation of it) and Tony didn't have it at his table, he would tell you to come back tomorrow.
Sure enough, the next day he had the card for you. He was an amazing guy with a tremendous BB card inventory..

Tony was a veteran of the Philly Show from its beginning in 1975. Tony also promoted his Valley Forge Show (with Larry
Shane) from the late '70s thru the 1980's.

Our prayers are with him and his family....may God Bless his soul.
