Just back. "Card" shops horrible--ripoffs and didn't see more than handful of vintage cards, none graded.
Was there for wedding but also visited the Hall--4th time since 1962, basically every renovation. Always come away with same feeling: why so little film footage? Abbott and Costello still the most featured. People keep finding, and sending to Hall, rare footage of Matty, Big Train etc. and not on display at all.... Lotta balls and gloves and Tulowitzi uniforms. Good exhibits on 1) Cuban baseball 2) women players.... Card display a good sample but shoved off at end and in unattractive spot. Cards badly faded. Etc.
