Re: Ted Z.
I had just emailed Dan last week to see if he had any news on Ted. Regret that I won't see him at the National again. RIP Ted.

So sorry to get this news. I spoke with Ted a few times at his booth with Dan at the Philly show. But it was always a quick chat. After one show, I stopped for a bite and Ted was there with his grandson. I said hello and we chatted some more...mostly about my admiration of his knowledge and collection. Real nice guy and genuinely interested in people and their collections. He will be missed. JT

Add me to the long list of those saddened by this news. I only met Ted once, at a National some years back when we was with Mark Macrae. We did not collect the same sets of cards, so there was not much in common there, but what I remember most is his love of the hobby generally, his desire to learn as much as he could on what interested him, and his generous sharing of information and experience. He was walking freeware for anyone he could help.

Like most here I have enjoyed and learned from the many threads and Posts Ted shared. I make my way down to the Philly show mostly to talk Hobby and look for the odd scorecard. And a few years ago I tracked down Ted at his table and said hello. I was greeted by a warm smile and a handshake. Talked about the Philly show ( This year is 50th Anniversary ) and Hobby friends we shared. He mentioned his neighbor Phil Rizzuto and we talked Yankees. And I made sure to stop by usually with an odd piece of Rizzuto memorabilia from then on.
I am sure that for Many Nationls and Philly Shows Teds Name will come up and friends will smile and tell stories. And I am grateful that his many thoughts are preserved in his articles and here on Net54. Rest in Peace and my condolences to his Family and Friends.

An absolute hobby legend. Always cherished our in-person and virtual interactions. His smile when discussing card minutiae was bigger than life. RIP Ted !

I haven't logged in for a few months and just found out. Terribly sad news. Ted Z was the modern-day Jefferson Burdick, at least in the Net54 internet world. He got a LOT of us hooked on T206. Truly an encyclopedia of knowledge. This one hurts.

I havent logged in for a long time, and while glancing at the list of threads I came upon this one. Just terrible news. I had the good fortune of meeting and talking with Ted on numerous occasions at the little Cooperstown card show during Induction weekend. It was usually stuffy and hot in that little room, but Ted was always very friendly and generous with his time. I remember he got a kick that I live just outside Bangor Maine and he had lived there when he was in the Air Force.
We have lost a hobby legend for sure. RIP Ted

Hi -- condolences to everyone who knew Ted. It sounds like he was a great guy. Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the Old Baseball Cards #9 article that he wrote several years ago. I have googled around and have a screenshot of the article but can't seem to get it in readable form. It is said to be one of the best articles ever written on the set and I'd love to get ahold of it. Thank you.

Cost is $12. This was a good issue as the 3 major articles were on E-145-1 & 2 (Cracker Jacks), V117 (Maple Crispette) and 1949 R401 (Leaf Gum).
