congrats Phil (and Hakes). Phil has a wealth of knowledge on rookie and pre-rookie cards as well as negro league memorabilia. I have learned a lot from him over many, many years and think this is a great fit. I'm surprised it took this long for this appointment to be official.
The Merkin collection certainly grabbed all of our attention a few years back. I always wished you would have more sports cards in your auctions, and am happy to see you try to expand that capability.
