There were two things Joe really didn't like: slabs, and yours truly.

There were numerous others, Barry. Leon had to give him a time out once or twice.

Just saw the REA blog myself - very cool. Bodes well for another great REA auction in 2012!

Cheers,
Blair

One thing that's nice to see is that REA got the cards into slabs before someone else could think twice about cleaning them in any way... I wonder whose fingerprint is on the back of the Plank (between Cap and Cig)...

Nice cards...
Steve

Default true story
I had several long conversations with Joe but never got to meet him in person. Certainly my loss in that respect.

I remember him getting into a few heated debates on the board. I told him he could stay as long as he wouldn't trounce upon 3 individuals. He said he couldn't do that so he would just leave. He left on his own accord. He never was banned from this board. I always liked Joe. Even during his hiatus he and I emailed back and forth quite frequently. Unlike someone else who can't control himself, Joe never did get upset with me...at least about that. I always considered Joe as part of the "old guard". They are a generation that we are losing every day and it's a shame. Those morals and philosophies (in general) are something our country could use again, imo.

I saw Joe several times at the Chantilly show. He even met up with us at lunch once. He was a very unique guy. Always interesting to listen to.

Joe told the story about the Texas National and the Card Doctor(s) numerous times on this board. He had a strong passion. I always looked forward to what he had to say and he had my respect. Glad to see his collection is being dispersed professionally.

Yep, and that's when he started emailing me to let me know how he felt about certain subjects that he was reading on the board, but could not reply to...we had some great conversations about cards and life over the years...I really liked that old dude.

That Plank is amazing. I received quite an education in prewar cards from Joe on multiple occasions.

Joe was great. Sometimes we fought, sometimes we agreed, but you always knew where you stood. That's fair. Even when he was basically telling you (me) what an idiot you were (again, me), he told good stories that sort of diminished the irritation. When we got sideways and I went after him, which was seldom, he never took it personally. Leon's right, he was part of the old guard and there aren't too many of them around anymore. Apart from the fact that he would be absolutely aghast to know that some of his cards had been graded, I hope they do well for his family's sake.
