Default The passing of Charlie Conlon

Posted By: Ricky Y

Wow another longtime hobbyist has passed on...

I finally met Charlie at the old All American show run by Bob Lee in SF in the late 80's after corresponding with him via phone on previous deals.. He saw me holding a 34 Lou Gehrig from across the room..and came running over trying to make a deal for it. We talked briefly before introducing ourselves and realizing we knew each other. He was a passionate collector and I can still recall the enthusiasm in his voice as we talked that afternoon about cards, cards and more cards.

RIP and condolences to his family and friends.
