Mr. Todd,

Though the "WE" crap that Dorskind uses is annoying, what got to me was his whining a couple of months ago about no good shows in New York City and having to drive to Pennsylvania to the Fort Washington show. Then he brings up the idea of a black tie baseball card event with investment bankers.

The elitist, New York City is the center of the universe stuff gets old. If Dorskind really wants to feel out of the card collecting world, he should try living in Indiana. Very few sports card shops and even less with anything older than the 1950's. As far as big shows go, the National in either Chicago or Cleveland is it and they only come around every other year.

As far as baseball cards and memorabilia go, Dorskind is a big fish in a small pond. However, that seems to be not good enough for him. What he really seems to want is to be able to hob knob with the REALLY wealthy art collectors, like Ron Pearlman of Revlon Cosmetics fame. However, his finances keep him from it, so he is doomed to only be able to mingle with us (we?) pedestrian card collectors.
