Condolences to Wayne's family. I've known he, Bill and Mike Wheat for 38 years since their store was on Banksville Road in Pittsburgh. Rest in Peace.


That’s crazy. I grew up in Banksville about 1 minute from that shop. Used to go there all the time. Although I don’t remember or know him, RIP man.

Default RIP, Wayne

I worked mostly with Bill Z. over the years, buying vintage cards from the mailed catalog. Over the years I would see Bill and Wayne at many a National (and Chicago Sun-Times shows here in Chicago). Great guys, always helpful. Wayne was a kind man. A true hobby legend and, as others have said in this thread, most knowledgeable. At the National in Cleveland (2018) I saw that his health was going downhill and am glad I was able to thank him then for all his industry service. God bless you, Wayne.

Mark
