John's "lexibell" account is up and running as of this morning - The previously listed items have not been reloaded, but the account is good to go. I am sure his team will have that back in place over the weekend.

On a fun note - John said that he is planning a meet and greet for his 600,000+ new friends (from The Sporting News) at his home this weekend.

That sounds like a blast to me...

Chris- I would give anything to go back a few years to John's warehouses in No. Little Rock when he purchased the inventory of Sports Collectors Store and B&E.

I saw publications (in duplicate) that I may never see again. If I had to do it over again I would take out a second mortgage.

My daughter and I spent many days there sorting for John with our lunch in an ice chest. I know you and Mike Sanders spent many days there too!

Not a nicer fellow in the hobby on either the collecting or business end.

If any of you get the chance to speak with John ask him to tell you the story about the time the ATF Officers surrounded his house one morning! John had purchased a large group of firearms in a movie prop auction but did not know he needed to be registered as a firearms dealer. It's a great story.

Hey Mike - how are you???

That ATF story was hilarious (some of the props are still in my kids' weapon arsenal) - and heck yeah - the warehouse days were a blast!!!

Mike Sanders and I made many a trip from Memphis to the warehouse that year. I can't tell you how many "Moon Pies" Mike ate that summer because he refused to stop working long enough to grab lunch. Our buddy Mike Harper was still very involved at that time - man those were the days....

JR is a great guy and one of my very best friends

I am planning to head over Monday to check out the TSN collection and the Conlon negatives. It's gonna be like Christmas in July...

Interesting how many newspapers and periodicals have started selling off their photo archives. Tough times for the print industry, but a bonanza for the photo collectors. I wonder if there are any photos in the TSN collection that will fit my collection?
