Default 3rd Annual Boston Net54 Lunch

It's almost summer, the Red Sox stink and all our treasure has been spent on one or more of the many recent Spring auctions...it must be time for the 3rd Annual Boston Net54 lunch!

As always, we'll do some 'show-n-tell' and talk about old cardboard that makes our wives/girlfriends roll their eyes and strangers wonder why grown men are still 'playing with baseball cards!'

We'll keep the same location...Papa Razzi at Washington Street in Wellesley.
I'm thinking we do this in August. I'm currently available all month. Are there any dates that DO NOT work for others that plan on joining? I'll do my best to schedule a date with the minimum number of conflicts.

See you all soon!

EJW

Hi Erich,

I would love to be able to meet up with other Net54 members in the area - thank you for organizing this! As far as dates go, not sure if you are thinking this would be during the week or on weekend...if the weekend, maybe Saturday the 11th? That way pickups from the National could be part of the show-and-tell But as of right now any other weekend or even during the week could work for me.

Hey guys,

I'd be in again - first weekend is likely out for me, but others are good for now. Saturdays are better than Sundays as well for me if that matters!

Don't mean to hijack this lunch thread and wish I could make it to your event in August, but since the people reading this thread are most likely based in Boston, I wondered if anyone has a suggestion for a decent card shop there.

I am coming from out of town and have a day off in Boston on Thursday. Am staying at the Westin Copley Place - any ideas of a shop that wouldn't be too far of a cab ride?

Thanks,
Brad

Not sure if they are still in existence but JJ teaparty was in Boston, prices were insane, but fun to talk with the people there

He (Peter Leventhal) relocated to Kenmore Square years ago, I think his new store was or is called Kenmore Collectibles, not sure if he is still there.

Kenmore Collectibles is still there, and not too far from Copley Square (it's in Kenmore Square, right near Fenway). It's your best bet for a card shop in Boston, albeit not anything fantastic pricewise or selection-wise, it's still worth checking if you have a bit of time...

Hi Everyone!
I'm doing well these last two months, and I have everything all set to attend. I've got a ride all set for whatever date works with you all.
I am looking forward to this more than you can imagine!
Have a great weekend,
Bill Hedin

Great to hear, Bill - look forward to having you there!!

I'll be fresh off attending the Net 54 dinner at the National the week before, so I can catch you up on all of the antics from Baltimore!
