This is a thread I never want to start. I found out from tBob that Jerry Tate (Gabrinus) has passed away. Jerry was a great guy, it would be hard to not like him. He and tBob, as well as myself, were all living in Ft. Smith, Arkansas. Jerry was one of the first guys to see the value of t216s, and had a great collection at one time. He really knew his cards, and was always quick with a compliment when you picked up something special. Jerry quit collecting a while ago, but he still enjoyed seeing what we were getting, and he was willing to talk about different series. I bought many cards from his eBay site until I guess he ran out. He was a special guy, and we are lessened by his passing. I don’t know what happened, Bob said no one had seen him for the a while and the police had to knock in his door and found him. It really leaves me sad, it’s terrible to see him go so young. RIP, Jerry.
