HAVERTOWN, PA — Carl E. Henderson, 69, passed away peacefully on January 31, 2026. Born July 27, 1956, Carl was a fixture in the Havertown community, best known as the passionate owner of Carl’s Cards & Collectibles, Inc.
For over three decades, his shop on Darby Road was more than a business; it was a haven. Carl transformed a simple hobby into a community hub where generations connected. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of baseball cards, comic books, and vintage toys, but his greatest skill was sharing that joy. To Carl, every item had a story, and every customer was a friend.
He believed in the magic found in cardboard and ink—the thrill of a rookie card, the nostalgia of a well-loved comic. For kids on a budget, he was known to make a deal, ensuring everyone could have a piece of the hobby. His legacy is not merely in the inventory he curated, but in the community he built.
Carl is survived by his loving family and a town full of friends who will forever cherish their memories of him, both within the walls of his beloved shop and beyond. He will be deeply missed.
