Cool print variation
 

Posted By: <b>Al C.risafulli</b><p>Picked this one up a while ago and got it graded at the National. I know there's a thread for new pickups, but since this is a pretty cool variation that not a lot of people know about, I figured I'd give it it's own thread.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.swingbattaswing.com/page10/page15/files/page15-1048-full.jpg"><br /><br />The uncorrected and immensely more common variation looks like this:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.swingbattaswing.com/page10/page15/files/page15-1005-full.jpg"><br /><br />Quite pleased to have this one.<br /><br />-Al

Posted By: <b>Al C.risafulli</b><p>Ted, that's a huge drag. I was on the show floor all day Friday and Saturday; I'm sure I spent plenty of time at your table and just didn't put two and two together. It seemed I was there for so long that I looked at every non-shiny piece of inventory at the show.<br /><br />It would have been great to meet you. I'll have to make it a point to look you up at the next Reading show.<br /><br />Daniel, by the time I got to that dealer's table, I had blown the Matty up in my mind until it was the GREATEST CARD IN THE UNIVERSE. So it was a huge letdown that it was gone. The card was nice, and the price was far nicer. I was thinking the same thing when the card was gone - I should have just hung around longer with you, the conversation would have been far more enjoyable than the disappointment of missing out on that card. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />I subsequently located a lower-grade version but it just wasn't the same, so I didn't pull the trigger. I wound up purchasing three Henry Johnson Confectioners cards from a very nice man who's name I didn't get, and that was the only purchase I made at the show.<br /><br />-Al

Posted By: <b>E, Daniel</b><p>Those Henry Johnson Confectioners will look brilliant next to the Herpolsheimers!<br />I ended up with only the one card myself from the show, my first japanese card after spending 20 terrific minutes chatting at Prestige Collectibles table. That's what the show was about for me. I think nearly every table I stopped at and asked a question or just smiled knowingly at a dealer and commiserated over 'concrete ankles and feet', were all so amazingly generous with their time and knowledge. Been to a couple of Nationals in Chicago and that city is definitely my kind of town (lived there for 7 years until 12 months ago <img src="/images/sad.gif" height=14 width=14>) , but I have to say I've never met a friendlier bunch than at this Cleveland show.<br /><br />I've got an idea for getting Net54'ers together, I'm going to flesh it out and post soon!<br /><br /><br />Daniel
