Yes, I just spoke to Gene and he told me the same thing. I guess when you love this hobby as much as he does, you can't really "full time retire". FRANC

He's not retiring...at least not completely, as he explained in a recent e-mail I received: "Thank you so much for your kind words. However, I am semi-retiring, not full time retiring. I plan to continue to dabble in buying and trading old movie memorabilia, but I have sold my business which occupied so much of my time, I never had time to smell the roses. This way I can continue doing what I love to do best without the pressures of meeting so many deadlines." So perk up, guys, Gene will still be around buying and selling....

I love going to the Columbus show just to see Gene and the excellent collection of lobbies that he always has. And yes, he's a super nice person as well.

His prices were always great and he is a super nice person to deal with. His grading was always on target as well. Gene will be missed in the hobby for sure!!!
