[Tony Gordon]

Bob Koehler was a school teacher by day, card and sports memorabilia dealer for decades on nights and weekends. He was a regular dealer at the monthly Gonzaga show in Milwaukee and is a member of the Wisconsin Sports Collectors Association Hall of Fame.

After he died, his widow was kind enough to invite a select few Wisconsin and Illinois dealers to purchase Bob's inventory/collection. I was lucky to attend but only saw a small portion of his inventory, which was impressive in itself. I purchased what I could. His widow also set up once at Gonzaga after Bob's death, largely selling publications. The bulk of Bob's collection, including a large number of pre-war items, was sold at subsequent Mastro auctions.
