Ron Vitro Award
Welcome to the Ron Vitro Award Page!
On Jan 16th, 2015. JPRS issued their first award.
This award was issued to Ron Vitro for his 32 years of dedicated service to Sports Memorabilia business.
Ron has been on of the most consistent dealer with attending virtually every show that has been hosted at the County Center dating back to the “Rothstein Days”
Just as an FYI. The first official baseball card show that was hosted at the county center was on March of 1982. Gloria Rothstein was the promoter at this time. Ron was an exhibitor on that day!
This is an extremely rare achievement.
Within the business it is rare to receive a congratulations or a thank you for all the hard work these dealers place into maintaining fresh inventory for the customers to see.
JPRS decided it was time to create an award. So we did. “And we surprised Ron…..Real Good!”
