I don’t have it handy (it’s in a box at the top of my closet), but I bought a 1950s Dodgers scrapbook with a ton of clippings of Snider and Koufax (my two main PCs) from him for $10. “It’s probably only worth that to the right person,” he said to me when I asked about the price.

I bought a lot of neat items from Chandy.

As I am mostly a reseller, I no longer have any of these or pictures of them but these were my top buys.

1. 1930's autograph book with about 250 autos including a single signed Babe Ruth page along with team sheets from most major league teams including Pirates with Wagner. Purchased for $1000 about 20 years ago.
2. 1962 Salada 200 coin set in original box. NM Purchased for $1000 also 20 years or so ago.
3. 1953 and 1954 Topps empty 1 cent boxes in EX Condition. Purchased for $350 for the pair again many years ago.

These 3 items stick out in my mind as the best purchases I got from him but I bought many bulk deals from him over the years as well.

Special guy who I have not seen in a few years but was truly a nice man who will be missed for more than just his collectibles. He always spoke highly of his two daughters and wife and was proud of his family.

Prayers for them during this trying time.

Default very sad news

He did seem to be aging noticeably over the past few years - yet I always thought of him as a young and enthusiastic guy - he will definitely be missed in the hobby.

Chandy was that rare person in the hobby, knowledgeable, respectful, and willing to help all collectors.

Dr. Beckett and I taped a tribute to Chandy for his podcast yesterday.

And from reading these comments and other comments I knew from over the years that he always had time to contribute to the hobby, he will be missed.

May his memory be for a blessing

Rich
