Now I would say that a large percentage of stuff he has sold over the years has come from Pat Sarma. Pat, at one time, owned the biggest hockey card collection in the world. He had all the mainstream, as well as some rare oddball issues, and some of these pieces were in just incredible shape! Pat is in his seventies now, and so he has been selling everything off through Larry. I would say that most of his "good stuff" is probably gone.

So, whenever you see an amazing piece out there, whether it's a Jacques Plante rookie in NM shape or some rare oddball piece, then there is a chance it might have come from Pat's collection.

Nice to know. Has Pat ever displayed his collection? I wonder who the #1 Sweet Caporal set came from originally? I know it went through Larry once.

Very nice collection, Tomi!!

I was referred to Larry from Jeff on here a couple years ago. I was looking to sell/trade my Beehives and Larry was trying to help with that from a guy who he thought might have some 52 Topps baseball cards for me.

Needless to say, it didn't work out but I was hoping to talk a bit more with him this spring at the Expo.

Hopefully, by the fall things have changed significantly where I will get that opportunity again?

Thanks. If every person in this industry was half as trustworthy as Larry we wouldn't have any of the problems we are seeing in our hobby. Good luck on your quest.
