Has there ever been a better friend to non-sport trading cards and the dealers and collectors of them? A life very well lived, rest in peace, Roxanne. Condolences to the Toser family.

I met Roxanne in the late 90's. She came out here when Keith Dennis put together a non-sports show in San Jose, CA. I think I saw her again at SDCC one year as well. She'll be remembered as an all-time legend in non-sports but she was also a very nice lady - happy to see even some guy she knew through just a couple of emails/letters before.
Even in the depths of sadness, let's celebrate her life.

Harris, our family was deeply shocked and saddened by the news. Your mom was always very friendly to me over the years. I fondly remember our 2 trips to Harrisburg in the early 2000s to see you and your parents. And we are so grateful that you came to our wedding in 2006. She was a wonderful woman and the loss will truly be felt by all. David

I extend my deepest condolences to Marlin, Harris, and the entire Toser family. Roxanne was the Matriarch of the non-sport collecting world and she will be sorely missed. I have fond memories of the Philly Show over the years and our many conversations about our hobby. May her memory be a blessing for us all.

My deepest condolences to the family... So sorry to hear this... I was fortunate enough to meet Roxanne twice, and she was inspirational in her passion for cards, and by just how nice of a person she was.
Very sad to hear this news. Roxanne was an absolute joy to visit with and the hobby has been diminished with her passing. Prayers to Marlin and the rest of her immediate family.

Really sorry to hear this, my mom passed about 3 weeks ago, when it happens over the holidays it's an extra gut punch. Deepest condolences to Toser family. It seemed like Roxanne had always been around. As long as I can remember. You just think that they will always be around.
