I remember making the drive from Virginia in 1985 because he found some rare Carnival of Souls lobby cards for me. 

What a store. Not sure they have shops like this anymore in bigger cities cause of the rent. Same with Eric Cadien of HollyWood Book and Poster in Los Angeles.

Where was his store located when you visited?

It was 1985. I can't remember yesterday. Had gone up to Radio City Music Hall to see Disney's Return To Oz and stopped by his shop. Along with a Carnival of Souls Mexican One-sheet and some US lobby cards also got some cool Phantasm stuff, too. Two years later moved to Los Angels and worked on Phantasm 2 and promptly got rid of all my Phantasm memorabilia ASAP because the experience of working on P2, was, I dunno how to describe it....

 

Heck did Shout Factory find the gnarliest, dirtiest print to strike a transfer from? LOL

I visited Jerry's store a few times over the years and bought pieces for my collection  - he had a fantastic collection of Peter Cushing photos for sale and even autographs. He was truly unique, had an unbelievable knowledge of films and will be missed.

I remember his store moving around in Manhattan, was always fun to visit for movie memorabilia.
