I started feeling sick Monday night, and have been "under the weather" ever since - sore throat, nasel congestion, etc. Tested negative for covid. I'm an old fart, so maybe I should wear a face mask next year.

Val,
Your symptoms are the same as mine. Came home Sunday & felt great until late Monday. Have been in bed most of the time since then. Good luck in recovery to all those visitors at last Saturday's gathering. Its a bad flu

I can't blame the get together for my cold. 1) There's no fever so it's not the flu that everyone else came home with and 2) I didn't start to feel it until yesterday.

One of the folks in the office has kids that are home from school sick, I'm blaming them.

This was an AWESOME EVENT! Thanks to everyone who showed up and who made this happen and thanks so much for the food and open bar.

Andrew and Ryan,

Thank you for hosting this. It was quite enjoyable. I was happy to share some of my Olympic photography with those that attended.

Just curious did anyone make any deals, trades, sales, pickups they are willing to share on this thread

I saw one large trade made

I made a small, but neat trade with Mike after he showed me a great piece at the get together. I will post my item unless Mike checks the thread again.

I traded two Negro League All Star tickets (48 & 49), a minor league game involving Ray Dandridge and a Thomas Gutierrez card.

Thanks Val did not realize it was on a different thread.

I enjoyed your Olympic material very much.

Thank you, that is appreciated. What was shown as less than 1/100th of 1% of my collection. I am the odd collector even in the Olympic collecting community. Most collect pins, medals, torches, diplomas etc. I fit between the collectors and historians. I am also a life member of the International Society of Olympic Historians.

Yes, Jamie and I made a fun trade that included, on my end, this Acebo matchbox with card intact. A pretty cool item that I suspect is very ephemeral.

Thanks, Jamie!

Oh, and I should add that I got the cold version of the bug this past Friday and feel like so much poop today. It was still a great event, though!

Cheers,
Mike
