Ted once claimed I'd bought a card from from every show. From setting up at many shows (even the little Cooperstown VFW HOF show) and long talks, always great times. Ted would find his way to shows via trains and that alone showed his love and dedication to our hobby. Very trusting as he laid his cards out with no showcases, just pick them up and negotiate. That in itself would turn into a conversation which led to Ted with his encyclopedic knowledge of the card and life history of the player. Dan McKee I know it's hard you were booth-mates at Philly and on occasion Leon joined in. A great loss of a wonderful and kind minded man.
