Cool story and a very interesting set of cards.

[Jay Wolt]

Nice article
The Alpha set is amazing, at least I have the reprint set that Dan gave to me in Philly :D

[glchen]

Cool story, and nice to put a face to the name. I actually really liked the photo of the Washington Times cards more. What incredible cards. Nice display in the background also. Dan, you should show more of your collection.

[mrvster]

Wow:eek:

[Gradedcardman]

Dan,

Great picture and congrats on the house !!

[oldjudge]

Finally, a calm piece involving Dan. Oh yah, he didn't write it. Dan, just kidding. Please send my best to pop.

Nice to see a feature story on one of the hobby's good guys. Sold me a Goudey Moe Berg for my Jewish collection.

loved the article... nice Dan!

Dan once loaned me $20 at a show after I spent all my money right before finding a deal I couldn't pass up. I just read this article, so I'd say we are even.

[wonkaticket]

That was my $20, he said you took it.:confused:

Dan is one of my favorite people in the hobby, was very happy to see this. Being around his old man as a kid was one of my childhood collecting moments that I will never forget....of course I didn't know Dan then he was too busy chasing girls.

Cheers,

John

Well you posted this link and I clicked on it, so we are even too.

[Exhibitman]

Great story!

[autograf]

Great story, great guy.......but, oh, the shipping costs.....

[rhettyeakley]

Where did they find that male model to show off the cards at the start of the article? :D

Seriously though, nice article and Dan is a great guy to deal with.

[Rickyy]

What an awesome set. Great article and nice to see Dan!

PS Dan knows how to buy low and sell high....:D

[autograf]

@ Brian......and then buy low AGAIN.....great business model!

[Brian Weisner]

Hi Tom,
Exactly.......
Hope you are well. Brian

[Griffins]

Great article, but I was hoping Wonka had supplied the picture to illustrate it.
Congrats Dan, and send my best to Pops. Missed him at the National this year.

[Zach Wheat]

Nice little write up. Thanks.

Great story Dan and beautiful cards, good luck!

[4815162342]

Nice article Dan! Thanks again for the E105 deal post-National!

[h2oya311]

The article mentions that a few HoFers will be for sale again soon? Or did I misinterpret the article?? I'm interested to know (a) which HOF rookie collector bought them and (b) which cards will be available???

Any of these cards would trump the "1 of 1" thread that's currently up!!

Very cool article for sure!!

[brianp-beme]

Nice article Dan...it always cool to be recognized for special hobby endeavors.

A picture of Dan Mckee with a big smile on his face, holding graded cards. That is going to come in very handy down the road...

[rc4157]

Nice article Dan, enjoyable read!

Nice to see a positive article about a fellow Net54er.

Congratulations to Dan.

I should get a banner made for the board of him holding those, smiling.

@ Brian......and then buy low AGAIN.....great business model!


+1. Congrats Dan! Those 3 cards are great.

[WWGjohn]

Great article, Dan! Nice to finally put a face with your name. Super, super cards.

John

[thetruthisoutthere]

I enjoy coming to this side every so often to read the great stories about old cards.

Very nice.

[Bosox Blair]

Kudos to Jonathan Pitts, the author of this piece.

It is some kind of minor miracle that somebody wrote a piece like this for a non-hobby publication. And gave readers the impression that collecting was not dead, cards were not worthless, etc.

There is hope yet...

Cheers,

[tennisguy]

A very nice article. One of the truly good guys in our hobby!

Congrats,

[JLange]

Nice to see a positive and interesting piece about the hobby. Congratulations, Dan!

[npa589]

Loved reading that, thanks for posting wonka...

Dan: ridiculous cards!

[phlflyer1]

Nice to see a good story about the hobby and one of the good guys involved in it.

[calvindog]

Great article. I was thinking how funny/sad it is the article would probably be one of like 2-3 in the entire paper that I'd be interested in reading. :)

[ValKehl]

So, Dan, am I correct in thinking that if I were to make you a six-figure offer for your 1910 Wash. Times collection or your WaJo collection, I might be able to acquire one of them?! :D

Best to you and Pops,
Val

[michael3322]

Great article for sure.

Who is this collector who acquired the set from Dan and is now selling off the cards? Is it an open secret that I just haven't been clued in on yet or is the guy unknown to the Net54 board?

[tedzan]

Dan......you're "the Man"

Tremendous story, read thru it twice......really enjoyed it.

My best regards to you and your Dad.
