I first met Jerry at the start of the Memorial Day Weekend in 1972,
when I was co-running the "First Annual EC Fan Addict Convention" in
New York City.
I ran it together with Ron Barlow, and our main hope of breaking even
on our expenses was selling 100 dealer tables in the dealer's room for
the four day show.
Most of the tables were bought by the few comic book dealers there
were back then, but I got a call from Jerry Ohlinger, who reserved
four tables, and I asked him why I did not know him (since I was a
major comic book dealer) and he said he only sold movie memorabilia.
I told him that I appreciated his purchase, but that he might re-think
it, since there would only be comic book collectors there, and he
might not make a sale and I didn't want him to throw money away. He
said he was not worried about that, and that he only wanted to get
more people aware of movie paper.
The day before the show started was "dealer set-up day", and in comes
Jerry with a massive amount of boxes of stuff on a slew of hand
trucks. He also had a framed movie poster, which was an original
Phantom of the Opera one-sheet from 1925 (perhaps the best one, with
the Phantom underwater) and I asked him how much it was, and he said
"$1,000.
Now at that time the most expensive comic books were around $200, and
I asked him if that price didn't seem extreme, and he said "If I don't
sell it now, I will sell it a few years from now because someday
people will realize it is a bargain at $1,000", and he was sure right
about that!
Over the many years since, I have had a large number of dealings with
Jerry, and he was always classy in all those interactions, and we
talked on the phone, often reminiscing about the "old days", when
everything was so cheap, and only nerds collected comic books or movie
posters!
When I started my monthly bulk lot auctions a couple of years ago,
Jerry was a major buyer of lots of posters, lobby cards and stills. I
imagine the last thing he needed more "stuff" but I think he, like
everyone who loves posters, could never have "enough" and liked
getting great deals.
The last few weeks he was in a hospice, and I saw posts saying he was
watching his favorite old movies and serials from his bed. I know that
he was also bidding away on my latest bulk lot auction, that ended
Sunday, and as usual, he won a few and lost a few. But that was Jerry,
wheeling and dealing to the very end!
RIP Jerry. You were one of the real good guys in this hobby, and you
will be missed. :(
