Don't mess with us. If you say "Schwartz" we're all going to assume you mean JP. Who is TJ?

I don't think I could ever represent a deluge - short of a massive watermelon eating contest and no nearby bathrooms.

However, that being said, anyone who honestly doesn't know T.J. Schwartz is clearly someone who is either showing their age or lack of hobby experience. The man is one of the small handful of guys that can genuinely call themselves a 'guru' without levity or reproach.

He's been a hobby collector, dealer and ultimate 'go-to' guy for more than 30 years. Any man who can literally pick-up the phone and call Kobe Bryant, Cal Ripken Jr., Richard McWilliams, and Sy Berger just to say howdy is a guy who is hooked into the system.

Believe it or not, and I'm not sure he'll remember me, but after a Topps debacle he fixed, I sent him a dozen sweet Maui Onions - my way of thanking the man (per request). <g>

While I do know who TJ is, anymore when I hear Schwartz I automatically think of JP. IMO he's the shizznit of prospecting.

He's the one reason I still buy Tuff Stuff/Sport Collectible magazine, he remains on my side..
