Selsam was a nice guy and had fun with his collection
John was an advanced collector who I used to love to visit with at the old Willow Grove shows (Pre Fort Washington)... John loved doing things the old fashioned way, driving the back roads of Pennsylvania and the mid Atlantic, hitting antique shops along the way and talking with collectors in all fields (Not PSA or SGC or BVG either). Much of this was done during the 70's and 80's when there were fewer people doing this and an abundance of material to pick from. John shared a number of war stories, and did sell / trade a few things to me over the years, most of which I still have. His enthusiasm and integrity is sorely missed in the hobby.
