Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

They are pulling anywhere from $150-$250.... I was pretty stoked when I found this. He had Pacman and others but this was the only one certified.
It has both Online Authentics and PSA/DNA
RIP Joe
<< <i>I actually met Joe 2 months ago at a charity event. Like Stevek said he was very kind and entertaining. He was actually very accomodative in signing items and taking pictures with my fellow workers. It was his manager who was very protective of Joe and ushered him along. He didn't know of his illness at the time, but he was frail and walking slightly hunched over with a cane. >>
Yes that's understandable, a charity event such as that I can see where Joe would be accomodative in that regard.
The "public" I was referring to with Joe was the horse racetrack. Really, my viewpoint is that if a celebrity is out in public, could be a restaurant, or anywhere, I say leave them alone, they're entitled to their privacy. I remember I once saw Danny Kaye at a Phillies game, just sitting in the regular seats, not too far from where I were sitting...and it wasn't a mob scene, but almost all during the game too many were coming over to him and asking for an autograph, and he kept shooing them away....he didn't sign any that I saw.
The exception I think should be their place of work, such as a ballplayer at the ballpark, and before or perhaps after the game they should sometimes make some time, make some effort to sign some autographs...I mean with that it's basically good business.
I was at a resort with Lynn Swann for almost a week, ran into him at least 5 times and only the last time did I say
anything to him.
Richard Klein used to come into a store I managed, same thing, first time I acted like he was no one special.
Only after the sale did I say 'thanks Mr. Klein', after that whenever he would come into the store he would seek me out.
I agree with Stevek (can you imagine) unless your 9 years old I say leave these people alone when they are on their own time.

Steve - good to see ya off the sidelines...
...and congratulations on a very memorable post...I doubt if Lynn Swann and Richard Klein were ever mentioned in the same post on an internet forum, and it's probably never going to happen again.
