Rob is spot on with his memories of Jerry.
Once he got his mind set one on something, he NEVER let it go. He would cover the same ground over and over on his latest peeve(which might well be 5 years past), every time we would talk. Or he would email me and want me to speak up on the issue as well.
I had so many dealings with him, several of which were standoff's, as Jerry would really dig his heals in most of the time on a deal. He knew what he had, he knew what you needed and he leveraged it for all it was worth. But after every deal we were as friendly as before. Just part of the art of the deal and the hobby.
He was one of the old school collectors where sets were meant to be collected, studied and appreciated.
He will be missed by many!
