Reflections on 30 years of the Philly Show
There are many more Willow Grove stories to be told, here is one that I recall from the mid-1980's.
My table was next to John Broggi (who at that time operated two BB card shops and a monthly live auction in NJ). A guy came to
my table first with a "walk-in" of 100's of really sharp Goudey's & Play Ball cards. I went thru every card and gave him a fair market
value of his large collection.
It was a lot of $$$$, and I really didn't want to pass this collection off to someone else. So, I turned to John Broggi, and we came
to a joint agreement of an offer to this guy for his collection. The guy was happy with it. And, John and I spent the rest of the day
dividing up the cards. We haggled over the Ruth's, Gehrig's, Joe DiMaggio's, and Ted William's....but, after several hours, we arrived
at a mutually happy compromise.
Hey guys, if you have anymore fond memories of this fantastic show....please share them here with us ?
