Negotiating prices with tough customers is nothing compared to what Georgia card show promoter/collector/dealer Frank Moiger deals with each day.
The 60-year-old Knoxville, TN native is on kidney dialysis—and has been for much of his adult life. Three nights a week, he goes through six hours of the life-preserving procedure at Emory Hospital in Atlanta.
He’s on a kidney transplant list and is hoping a donor match can be found. It would be his second transplant. The first failed after 13 years.
Mogier promotes small shows in Georgia, where he also maintains a table and adds to his collection of cards featuring former University of Tennessee players.
Moiger has maintained a positive attitude, grateful for the chance to still be around thanks to modern medicine, but it’s become more of a challenge as time goes on.
Knox News caught up with this die-hard Vols fan and avid hobbyist for this story.
