Wow. My sympathies.

At this point, based on friends who have been through it, I’m guessing that you are probably as disappointed about the effect on your collection as anything.

But maybe I’m just projecting.

I always love to read the master wordsmith's introductory column in the catalogs. This one was so moving and poignant. Remembering the story of Al and superstorm Sandy helped me to realize once more Al's never-ending love for the hobby. Just picturing Al with flashlight, wrapping all the items to be mailed to the auction winners, generator hummin' with Al keeping all things going through 11 days without electricity. This is no surprise to me as 37 auctions have exhibited a gentleman who sincerely loves this hobby and fellow hobbyists and fully embodies a Love and Joy for the Game. Al is correct when he states that this is a very special auction from very special consigners with very special items expertly and delicately cherished by LOTG. And I look forward to many more with greatest anticipation.
Warmest wishes and congratulation to my ole buddy, Al. Barry

and P.S. to P.S. esq
I am well and wish the same for you always, ole buddy
Barry

Big thank you to Al for a smaller auction with a higher concentration of collector-grade cards. Much appreciated.
