I frequently spent time at The Fields gallery in NY which I think was on 17th st ..and Jerry’s shop was not far from there I remember the shop was a bit forboding when you walked in there was counter in front you and behind rows of steel cages ..but a friendly staff and when you requested something it was brought to the front counter for yr inspection on one occasion I was interested in a mummy’s curse 1/2 sheet and one was brought out for my inspection I thought the asking price was high and asked to speak to the owner and jerry did come out and gave me a short course on title rarity and condition I remember him as being personable and forthright. i left feeling I could always go back there and buy with confidence
