Thanks Bill, and while I don't know if there are any online photos of Gerry's collection, I can share a story with you.

Back in July 2001 (note the date was two months before 9/11) I purchased, along with a well known hobby dealer/collector, Gerry's entire E card collection. It was comprised of high grade complete sets of E90-1, E90-2, E90-3, E-92 Nadja, E-93, E-95, E-96, and a near complete E-103. Gerry provided a complete set of color photocopies which I still have (and perhaps later today I can post some scans of it).

Here are some of the sample grades: E90-1: Jackson 5, Mitchell 4; Cobb 5; Collins 6; Crawford 6; Duffy 5; Graham 6(!); Joss 6; Karger 5; Keeler 6; Wagner throwing 6 (!); E-95 Cobb 6; Matty 6; E103 Jennings 6; and Cobb 7 (!). That's just a small sample.

And of course Gerry was low key and relaxed about the whole transaction, and worked with us to make sure we were both comfortable with it too. Truly a special collector!
