Hey Leon

I thought my young-looking 1981 photo would fool you. But, your powers of recognition are right on.

I will be set up at the March Philly show in 2018. So, you can play "musical booths" between Dan McKee and me.

And, if you'd like, you can again check-in to the Hotel Zanidakis while you're in this area.


P.S........Note my "Golden Glove" award (next to my left shoulder). During the 1970's, I was the playing-Manager of our Softball team at work.
When I joined them, they were at the bottom of the division. First, I re-named the team....to the "DingBats". And, my "Billy- Ball" (Billy Martin)
managing style resulted in a 12 - 2 (1st place) Won-Lost record. This success was maintained for the 8 years that I managed the DingBats.
The Golden Glove award was for my exceptional defensive play in the Outfield, and especially for my very accurate rifle arm. My bat was so-so.

Hey Ted
That is most gracious of you. I appreciate it. The last stay at Hotel Zanidakis was awesome. And your little private, breakfast restaurant, that was more like a small gathering place was a memorable event.
I have yet to plan out any shows next year. I might end up doing a Chantilly one next. Just not sure. I will be in touch later to let ya' know. Thanks again!!

That was a great show for my Brother John and I. John sold an Eddie Plank

T206 and I sold a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle. Bought so much stuff had to

turn people away from the table. It was a great mad house. All Cash

This is postcard ad for First Philly show. That show was Baseball card overload for a 14 year old. It was maybe the 5th or 6th card show I attended with my Dad. Paul Pollard sold us a set of 1940 playballs. (First cards my Dad bought as a kid..He had a complete 41 set but only a few 40's) I remember someone had some 1941 play ball packs he sold and I picked two wrappers off the floor. Saw my first Maggie error card at the auction saw a Joe McCarthy hat sell for $8.. We got a 1905 W601 of Clevland. (Still have it). Many happy memories of Philly shows mostly if the great folks I spent time with.

Came accross these items from first and second Philly shows. Maybe one day there will be a collection focused on card collecting. Anyway again lots of happy memories about a lot of great friends and fellow collectors.
