Roger Baehr was our rock. If you attended a card show in or around Milwaukee during the past several decades, you knew Roger would be there with a smile on his face and a great selection of unopened wax. I am so sad to report that our good friend, our rock, Roger Baehr died on Monday, November 28, 2022.

I met Roger about 20 years ago and since then, saw him two or three times a month, every month, at various card shows. I always stopped at his table to have a chat. He was so nice, so pleasant, such a kind soul. 

Roger was a huge supporter of my endeavors, having started with me when I first organized my show at the Clarion Hotel by Mitchell Airport in Milwaukee some eight years ago. He supported me when I fell flat on my face in June of 2015 when no one showed up to the show and I had just five dealers and 12 tables. Then he was there at the Salvation Army when I had my largest show to date last month with 115 dealers and 170 tables. Through my failures and successes, Roger, my rock, was there, always with words of encouragement. I just can't say how much I appreciated Roger Baehr. He will be missed dearly.

This is sad to read and a huge loss too. For so many years we were always set up across from each other at so many shows. We always talked at every show about all kinds of things and he always had a smile on his face. Going to miss him much. My condolences to his wife and family.
