It is with Unimaginable Sadness that we have lost our Dear Ted Zanidakis

I think it's appropriate to establish a new 'Collectorism' for Ted Z, so I present...

The free and unselfish sharing of one’s own vast wisdom, expertise and mastery of specific card sets, as well as other hobby insights, to help expand the knowledge base of the collecting community as a whole.

Very nice and appropriate, Darren. One of your best.

Totally agree.

This is awful news. I haven't logged in for a couple weeks because I've been dealing with health issues, and my mood is usually in the dumps. Hearing about Ted really hurts. Over the years, I've been trying to get to a show where he would be at, so we could finally meet in person. But my health was always messing up my plans. Now there's going to be that empty void that I can't do anything about. I'm going to miss getting messages and emails from him, as we shared thoughts about the T206 set and all of it's mysteries. Rest easy my friend. Thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family, especially his grandson Ron, that he mentioned a lot to me, because we share the same first name. I could never fill Ted's shoes as far as T206 knowledge, but I'll do my best to help others with their questions, and post new research as it's available. I learned a lot from Ted starting nearly 15 years ago. I'll miss you my friend.

Beyond sad…..a true icon who transcended our hobby to another level. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who enjoyed sharing his incredible knowledge as much as Ted. Simply irreplaceable, and may God Bless him and his family today…tomorrow…always! In the utmost sincerity, JoeT.

Not many like Ted…Whenever I stopped by his table at the National he was always willing to share his vast knowledge and also make a fair deal. Thanks Ted for that and for all the info you shared on Net54…..May you be at peace. God bless you.
