I was recently admiring this book and was wondering if this collection is still intact. Does anyone know John and is he a member of this forum?

I've known John Kasmanian for many many decades. I was a teenager doing shows and flea markets, and John and I became friendly. I believe he was was from the East Providence, RI area then, and was a banker.
Our first transaction was a set of Fatima Team cards i sold him in the late 1970's for around $1500.00 at a small show run by Bob Mello in the Marshfield, MA area.
John and I were friendly all those years, and lost touch when we both got married years ago.
I used to love reading his ads in the old SCD's and he had an eye for the rare and beautiful stuff.
If John's out here, I'd love to say hello!
