The good news - first time in my 30 years of attending card shows that I ever won a door prize! The bad news - the prize was a signed, glossy photo of some Phila. Eagles lineman lineman I never heard of and that I was told played in the 1980's - of absolutely no interest to me - gave it to the young fellow at the show entrance who was collecting the admission tickets and stamping hands for return entry.
Another cheap thrill was watching Dan Mckee's table for him while he went to take a whiz. What a thrill it would have been to sell his Baltimore News card or his Washington Times card or any of his other truly rare cards while he was away! No such thrill, but I almost sold a WaJo strip card!
Scott, your post served to remind me that I promised to come back after I visited Dan's table and tell you where Dan's table was located. Sorry, but my Alzheimer's-like memory failed me again! Glad you are having a good show.
