Default RIP Bill White the collector not the player

Hi Gang:

Sad to say I just discovered today that a good old friend and fellow collector Bill White passed away about three weeks ago.

https://www.longwoodfuneralhome.com/.../William-White

Those of us in the Philly area have known Bill for decades. He was really into Phillies collectibles especially autographs. He related many stories to me about his collecting years. One was going to the movies in 1948 where they gave out Lummis Peanut Butter cards as an incentive to buy movie tickets!!

His vast collection was sold over three or four different auctions in the last year or two by Huggins and Scott.

He and his wife Marlene had no children and Bill had set up a charitable trust that the proceed of the sales of his collection went to.

Nice guy!!
