I hope he’s doing well. But if he wanted to say hi why couldn’t he just come on here and say hi? :confused:

Hi everyone,

It’s been a very long time but I am humbled by all the good wishes. Fred told me he would start this thread and I figured maybe two or three people would say hello. But I didn’t expect this.

No, I don’t post anymore but I do think about the board and wonder how everyone is doing. I no longer collect baseball but I am grateful for the long career I had collecting, buying and selling, and the years I had running auctions. It was great fun but it’s not something I currently do. I do avidly collect vinyl and have added many great albums to my rock and jazz collection. That’s another hobby that is growing in leaps and bounds. It’s really been a lot of fun.

Anyway, wishing all a happy and healthy new year. And thank you again for the kindness.

Happy New Year, Barry. May 2023 bring peace, joy, and prosperity to you and yours.

Barry! Great to see you here if ever so briefly. 2-3 years ago my wife and girls and I went to NYC for spring break. Barry and his wife hooked up with us at the Metropolitan Museum and walked around with us for an hour or so. It was great to finally meet him after seeing him post here and having bought cards from him so many years ago. Glad to see he's doing well.......we will be contacting you on our next NYC visit!

Welcome back Barry...don't be a stranger on here.

And now the title of the thread is literally correct.

Brian

Hi Barry! Hope that you are doing well. It has been a long time.
