He was a genuinely nice guy. He actually visited my home last year and I met with him this year during spring training. His knowledge and personality will be missed. His collection with scorecards and photos/postcards were unmatched. Prayers to his family. Thanks, Mark, for mentioning this.

Oh no, this is horrible news.......I know he hadn't posted much lately, but I figured that he hadn't acquired anything new.
Back in the spring of '23 I had the good fortune of going to a Spring Training game with him and afterwards going to his apartment (a short walk from Ed Smith Stadium) and seeing a portion of his amazing collection....
RIP Alan
