Goodwin was a hobby pioneer that I remember from back in the late 1960's. We went to his book store and purchased 1955 Topps baseball cards! I wasn't into the T206's then.
About 10 years ago I communicated with him and we talked about his cards that had all been sold long ago. But he still had thousands and thousands of sports books, magazines, yearbooks, programs, etc.
Goodwin told me that one day he sold one customer 15,000 T206 cards. I still cannot imagine that.
Sports Illustrated did an article about him back in 1971. The article even mentioned his cigarette cards (Polar bear, Cycle, etc.). Here is a link to that article:

A true hobby pioneer and great person too.
Rest in Peace.
