I live nearby and did a lot of business with John when I was just getting started. I have some great memories of going up that spiral stair case to his shop. At the time, I hadn't seen a selection of vintage like that. What a nice man and encouraging to a young collector. I always hoped he'd reopen.

John England was one of the 13 collectors who attended the first-ever sports collectors' convention in Brea, California on August 23, 1969, driving there all the way from Arkansas with his wife Patty. He displayed his type collection and his T205 and T206 sets, and was voted "Card Collector of the Year". I posted a couple of articles about that show here:
