Or for a moment lets forget about turn around times.

When the greats did the whole community mourns. Most recently Carmine Infantino died. Any comic book news site that is worth anything reported on it. This happened about the same time that Margaret Thatcher and Phil Kaltenbach died. I'm sure you know two out of the three, the third might be less known but no less important especially among the grading community.

Phil was a grader with CGC until passing away in late March, and out of the almost four hundred books I have graded by this company I start to wonder, did any if my books pass through his hands. I read what CGC has written on their main portion of the site but I tend to go straight to the registry and trying to use the chat boards more but felt a moment of silence for someone that loved this hobby so much that I needed to add my thoughts on this.

Although it has been a few weeks since his passing and another week since his memorial service and I might be a bit late in saying anything tonight but after I write and after I read I shall take a moment and go over my graded collection in a silent reminder that even graders pass.

Thank you Phil, I'm sorry I never met you

Thanks for Reading
