That is sad news. Very nice guy. I had spoken to him several times over the years. Condolences to his friends and family and may he rest in peace.

Marco was a very nice guy and ran a very successful show in Chantilly for many years. RIP.

Really sorry to hear this. Marco was a great guy.

I lived in C'ville and, as a regular at the store not far from Grounds, sold him a bunch of stuff in the 1980s at Southern Cards to pay for my UVa tuition, though he knew I'd cherry pick any '57s he got in. Regret selling my Starr RC but needed the money. It was a good place to hang and we always spoke for years at Chantilly.

He built something really lasting in this hobby with a personal touch that is getting rarer and rarer. Condolences to Angie and the family.

We ran together for a lot of years. We co-promoted his first show and I worked in marketing his shows for him for a long time. A true friend and a fascinating guy. Our boys were about the same age and would play together at a lot of his shows. I had some wonderful memories of Marco and his family.

Oh, how sad that is to hear! Wonderful guy and truly sharp businessman who built the Chantilly Show into one of the best on the East Coast, also ran the Tuff Stuff show in Richmond for some years. He'd sneak camel straights from me at Chantilly and we'd bond over them. Marco did me some solids over the years. Condolences to Angie and the family.
