I remembered Nik through the boards (never met him in person, not sure if I personally talked to him before), but he seemed like a great guy to be around who knows his stuff. Always sad to see a board member pass away, just everything changes. May he RIP.
I know this is a Nik thread, but I also want to address a fellow Batman collector who passed away around 10 years now too.. Ben Novak Jr. Dunno if some of you guys have met or talked to him, but he was one of the guys I looked up to in this hobby. He had one of the best Batman collections in the world I've ever came about knowing. We used to talk a lot about Batman and Pre-Robin Tecs in general. Just a tragic how he was murdered..
