William HeitmanI grew up collecting with my father and brother so what I really love about collecting was the way it brought us together as a family. It carried over into so many other things, but there was nothing like spending an evening sitting at the card table and listening to my father talk about the guys pictured on the old cards. Sibling rivalries and the like ended at that table. Sadly, both are now gone and have been for quite some time. Now, the best thing to me is the people. The correspondence, the chats, the rare face to face meetings. This past National was my first in 14 years. In fact my first show in 14 years. It was a blast to see old friends and meet some new ones and to talk about this hobby. The 54 dinner was great. I hope to be doing some more shows as time goes by.
