Andy Irons, a three-time world surfing champion who won at every location on the elite circuit, died today from complications due to illness. He was 32.
Irons passed away during a layover en route to his home in Kauai, Hawaii, after withdrawing from an event in Puerto Rico, the Association of Surfing Professionals said. He was said to have been battling dengue fever, the association added.

Like every television station, newspaper, website, blog, etc that is covering the story and profiting from the advertising revenue they're generating? Kinda like that?
I don't own any of his cards. I have zero to gain from this. I was just trying to let collectors know their two dollar card is now worth thirty

Comparing the operating costs of a company to an ebay auction makes no sense. Plus it's the responsibility of the media to report the news and not worry the profit margin from the story. It's not a huge story and would make the local news in limited markets and most likely be a small sound bite.

Lets say someone has this card. What is the acceptable waiting period for them to sell this card? Just because he died you're supposed to hold on to it forever?

I live in Hawaii and was born and raised here. Ive followed both Irons bros for over 15 years now.
It doesnt bother me if someone tries to make a buck off of this, but it would bother me if someone makes a joke out of it. His beautiful wife is due to have their first kid in less than a month (a boy who will never know his father).
Its a sad day in sports....... the latest news....
They are saying now that Andy Irons may have died from a methadone overdose (found in a zolpidem container?). Zolpidem and other pills found near bed.... thought to be taken for the excruciating pain of Dengue Fever aka "Breakbone Fever". After leaving Puerto Rico and the Rip Curl event (because of illness).... He was on an IV for 2 days in Miami before making his desperate attempt to get back home to Hawaii. He had a vomiting attack on the plane from Miami to Dallas, then missed the connecting flight, checked into the hotel never to wake up...
Irons was one of the first to get air in surfing comps, and helped change the sport from a carvers mentality.... that what he was known for ....... he was also a 3 time world champion.
For those that care.........Fuel TV will re-broadcast the Billabong Pro won by Andy Irons at Teahupoo in September, as a tribute to the surfer. Watch Fuel TV (Channel 516) from 6pm (EDT) on Wednesday, November 3.

I used to get a little ticked after a HOFer died and 200 plus cards get thrown up on the bay. It's understandable to me now. If I had this card, it would be on the bay now. Just saying.

I have this card, I'm torn on whether I should sell it or keep it. Yeah, it would be nice to make a profit, but I don't want to think of myself as someone who profits on someone's death. On the other hand, that card will probably sit in my storage container labeled "junk" and never see the light of day. So maybe selling it to somebody who is/was a fan would be the right thing to do, opinions?
EDIT: fkw- If you want this card for free pm me your address. I see that your a big fan.
