Orlando of "A Collectors Dream" Webcast and he is a super nice person and an advanced vintage collector.

As from a newsletter I received this AM

"Another late release this week. I scrapped my original newsletter that I was going to send Thursday morning when I saw the terrible news that Orlando of A Collector’s Dream has lung cancer and is undergoing surgery to remove part of his lung"

Orlando is one of fellow co-hosts on Hobby Hotline as well

Regards
Rich

Oh no.... I'm devastated to hear this. He's one of the nicest, most knowledgeable and most beloved people in the hobby.

Thoughts and prayers for a successful surgery and quick recovery.

Default May he be blessed.
Best wishes to Orlando and his recovery..... With the help of Doctors, Nurses , caregivers, treatments , and faith, hopefully he recovers safely.
I really enjoy watching his videos on YouTube because he seems like a really nice, genuine person who enjoys our hobby and is not all into all the hype of "What's up Guys!! With hand motions and "Look at my awesome collection!!!"..... He just talks cards with joy and happiness..... Best wishes to him and his family and friends whom will support him through his journey to recovery.

Our prayers for a successful recovery go out to Orlando. I can't believe I so recently embraced him at Strongsville. I am devastated. Dios vaya contigo.

Praying for Orlando as well.

I think Orlando is the most positive guy in the hobby and right now he needs all the positivity and prayers that the community can give him.

Praying for you brother and grateful for you man!
