Very sad news.. Jim was a really good guy. I loved doing business and talking hobby stuff with him. We collected some of the similar things. He will be missed. Condolences to his family and friends. RIP Jim.

Very sad news to hear. Although we did not do a lot of deals in modern times, we did go back to the old 'Willow Grove' days. A very knowledgable individual, that was always present at the National and other major shows. Will miss seeing him at the National next year. RIP

Dealt with him many times dating back to the early 90's. Very sad, RIP.

Horrible news. As others have said, Jimmy was a fixture at the shows for as long as I can remember and had an encyclopedic knowledge of cards. My sympathies go out to his family and the 707 crew

RIP Jimmy.

Just saw him at the Shriner show a few weeks ago! Jimmy and I would regularly "compare notes" about some of the more obscure test and food issues as well as buy and sell to/from each other at the old Robert Morris shows in Pittsburgh. As previously echoed - just a stand-up "good" guy with an incredibly deep hobby knowledge. His presence and knowledge will be missed. Condolences to his family, Levi and his 707 family.

So sorry to hear this news. I was able to see Jimmy this week at the Chicago show. He told me he had brought some sets so I stopped by and visited with him and looked. We exchanged some information. I asked him if he had any information on the 1968 Cornflakes Football Cards, and if he knew of any advertising pieces about these cards. He told me that he would forward to a friend and let me know. He then showed me a picture of a Stan Musial oversized Red Heart Promo card he had just picked up and was very excited to get home and get to look at it. I would always stop by and say hi to Jimmy and ask if new anything about test issues or some rare item I was looking for. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. RIP Jim.

Have traveled with Jim for many years. He was the guru of card collecting.

Helped me a lot in my pursuit of stuff. Enjoyed being with him at shows all over

the United States. RIP my friend and condolences to his family and the 707

family

Terrible news to hear, while I certainly didn't know him as well as some of the other members on the board, It's awful when the world loses such a kind and knowledgeable soul. I feel our hobby and the sport itself has lost too many people over the course of the last three years.

Very sorry to hear this news. If you haven’t heard of him … just check the roster of all-star Net54 posters who have commented already and you will see the significance of this loss to the hobby.

[gnuche]

that is truly terrible news. RIP Jimmy

[clydepepper]

Sad to hear. I've had several dealings with 707 and they are great folks.

God Bless to Jimmy and his family! Always came to so see our items when we setup at the larger shows - had a great focus for pre-war cards!

[Casey2296]

I didn't know Jim personally but I bought my first $5000 card from him, 54 WF Williams, I sent him an email on another card asking for a discount reminding him who I was and he offered to give me a substantial discount on any card in his inventory. I didn't take him up on it but his offer showed me who he was as a person. RIP Jim and thank you for your generosity.
