This year has been a rough one for me and this hobby. Earlier I lost a person who had a huge influence on my collecting when I was young Dan McKee Sr.

Now I have to say goodbye to one of my hobby friends Jim. I was lucky enough to become friends with Jim over the past few years. Jim was the definition of humble. He was a great person who made me enjoy this hobby even more. I will never forget the long telephone chats and late night auction closing talks. Jim was the kind of person who made you want to be a better person you can�t say that about many people today.

I admired Jim for who he was, and was lucky enough for Jim to consider me a friend. People always ask about those great hobby finds. Meeting Jim Blumenthal to me was one of my greatest hobby finds in 25+ years of collecting. He can never be replaced and the hobby has lost one of the greats.

Goodbye Jim.
