Nice card.
Joe was a friend and an incredibly humble man.
Some of you might have received signed Conlon Collection cards from Joe. Due to their dark color scheme, he would often sign them with a White-Out pen. These pens had the tendency to glob all over the place if you used too heavy a hand, as they really weren't meant for writing. Joe always carried his glasses in a case in his front shirt pocket. The case had all sorts of white-out globs on the outside!
You would have never thought he was once a big name in the game if you sat and talked to him. He certainly didn't seem to consider himself that, anyhow, even though it was the truth. A fine person.
