Chandy was one of the nicest dealers you could ever meet. Met him about 30 years ago at a mall show at Carowinds in Charlotte.

He was extremely knowledgeable of the toughest cards you never see.

In Chantilly, when I used to set up there were collectors who would spend the entire day at his tables never checking anyone else out. They would be lined up to get a spot to look. I could have had the same material on my tables at the same prices and no one would ever look.

A good and honest family man will be missed by all.

Prayers for his family at this tough time.

When I used to set up as a dealer in Raleigh I was known for spending more time at his table than my own. A true treat.

I met Chandy almost 50 years ago. He was always the nicest and most knowledgeable person at a show. He will be missed.

Oh my, such awful news. Chandy was one of my favorite visits at the National and to deal with throughout the year. Just a lovely man. I sure will miss him. RIP.

Oh man ….. another of the old time greats is gone. Let’s all remember him in the spirit of freely sharing knowledge with fairness and patience to each other. RIP Mr Greenholt and thanks for the memories! Rocky

I dealt with Chandy a few times back in the early 1980s over the phone. For some reason I thought he was a young guy back then. He sounded that way. The deal I recall is when I sold him a stack of about 25 or 30 1965 Catfish Hunter rookies. I told him they were near mint to mint. He asked me to be more specific on the condition, and I said, "I got them in a lot from Richard Gelman."

Chandy laughed, said "They're mint," and we made the deal. For some reason, of all the people I've dealt with, that always stuck in my mind as a fun conversation.
