Broadway Rick Kohl has passed away

I find it more interesting that Mark MaCrae was at the top of the list, and would still be at the top of a similar list 17 years later.

My one transaction with Broadway was a very satisfactory one for me...a larger lot of Zeenuts with some incredibly nice surprises not advertised in the group. Rest in peace Rick, and for the rest of us, move along and do the right thing.

I detest when politics and/or religion rear their ugly heads. Mods are quick to nip the political statements in the bud, I only wish they would stop people posting all the religious crap too.

As usual, what the he** are you talking about? I don't see any religious stuff going on but if someone mentioned God or something it's not the end of the world. There should be no mention of politics or religion on the board but if someone said something like "May God let him rest in peace"...then that is not going to be stopped. Get into a religious discussion and see how long it lasts...

And if it is because someone casually mentioned the 10 commandments, same thing....get over it.

You have a good point. However, I don't think we would want this place to become sterile? Members know not to debate politics or religion. thanks....

Maybe he just didn't see the video.....

I didn't see any mythology posted, but I do see some nonsensical rubbish.

Back to the thread at hand. I am somewhere between Adam and Leon on this subject. I don't agree that Rick did some minor bad stuff that can be equated to what "we all do". No, we don't all do it. Yes, condolences to his family.

I thought the Mel Brooks video was funny. It was just a Jew poking a little fun at his own religion. I'm Norwegian-American and all good Norwegian families in the Midwest own a Norwegian joke book and laugh at themselves. "How do you sink a Swedish submarine? Give it a Norwegian crew." "How do you sink a Norwegian submarine? Knock on the door."

I thought some of the other comments could have been saved, since Rick just died. As they say, there is a time and a place. The other stories are available elsewhere, and I don't know what he was like away from the hobby. He may have been a fine fellow otherwise. I hope we all have lives apart from eBay. Which doesn't mean I think everyone is required to say fake glossy thoughts or nothing bad should have been mentioned. I never dealt with him, though am familiar with the stories, so have no personal comment other than RIP.

Do you understand how insulting this is to people of faith? If you do not believe, fine. Why be so obnoxious about it?

I wouldn't be too concerned - I don't think he gets along with atheists either.

Absolutely agree, Mark is one of the best dealers out there and a heck of a nice guy to boot! He's been a great help with our start-up SoCal show. Not to mention he sold me one of my holy grail cards:
