Stopped by Saturday for about four hours visiting with several great sellers displaying outstanding stuff. If you are in the area tomorrow, do yourself a favor and spend some time at the longest running show in the nation sponsored by (I believe) the oldest club: the Washington State Sports Collectors Association. Forty-some tables brimming with cards and memorabilia from all eras including a good selection of Pre-War.

Great cards and stories to swap with vintage collectors, too. I even ran into a fellow original member (1973) of WSSCA (Ted Baker) whom I had not seen since 1980. Also reaquired some trimmed M101-4's I sold to Mark Mcrae a few years ago. (At this show one never knows who or what he'll encounter.)

With the passage of the Tacoma Dome shows, serious collectors need to consider the WSSCA shows which now come twice a year: early June and early November. Last year's November edition (the club's first) was a good first step. This year's is better. Don't miss it!
