Default RIP Mike Berkus

I am sad to report Mike Berkus died last night as a result of brain cancer. I know he needs no introduction to the members here. Mike co founded the Narional Sports Collectors Convention and was a hobby pioneer. I had the pleasure of having Mike work for me as my executive Vice President for two years in the mid 1990s and learned a lot from him . Atlantic City will be an empty place without him this National. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. The hobby lost a. True legend and everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him personally lost a true friend and great guy to be around . RIP Mike

Wow, I'm shocked to hear this bad news. I knew Mike only a little, mostly in the 1980s, when I set up at a couple of his shows. Condolences to his family & friends.

Shocking, indeed. He seemed to be in good health and good spirits at this year's National. RIP.

Wow. I'm floored. He was as integral to the growth of the hobby as anyone.
