Steve Gold passing

[Tony Gordon]

I was an irregular customer of the Gold's since the late 1970's when they would set up at the old Hillside Holiday Inn shows. When their store opened in Skokie (I think around 1980), I celebrated because the only other card shop in the Chicago area was on the South Side, quite far from Skokie and my home in a nearby suburb. They always had a tremendous inventory of cards and memorabilia. You could get lost in the Skokie shop. I am sorry to hear about Steve's passing and my condolences to the Gold family.

Rich, I too am sorry for your loss. As you may recall, I met and sat next to Steve at the dinner in Baltimore, and we had a great chat. He also was the last one I waived goodbye to when I left the show Sunday. This is surprising and sad news.

It was in the Fall of 1978 at a show at the Prudential Center here in Boston where I met Steve and Audrey Gold. I bought a 1954 Johnston cookie Aaron and a bunch of 206's from them.
After my purchase, they introduced me to Bill Hederson who sold me another Aaron Johnston cookie card plus everything to virtually complete my Topps/Bowman BB sets!
It was a great time when I met the Golds and I'll always remember that event.

Sorry.

In my prayers tonight.

Again, sorry.
