Despite what looked like a lower than usual attendance figure (nasty weather on Saturday, and a Seahawks game on Sunday), this show continues to be the highlight of my collecting year...June and November are reserved on the Ol' Familytoad Calendar. The 200 mile drive is well worth it!
This year, I got some real nice cards on Saturday.
I was dealt a lot of really
bad cards later that night at the Tulalip Casino
which cut into the Sunday budget but it was so much fun talking with collectors & dealers. At this show, they are often collectors disguised as dealers
Nice to finally meet young board members like Conor and Brian (Python Factory) , visit with still young but WSSCA vets Rob & Andrew and "my age" guys like Mark & Rick
I missed Larry Moe and a couple of the others that responded above who I haven't had the pleasure of meeting. To me, the social scene trumps the baseball cards...well almost
I'll post my pickups when I scan them later this week, but I wanted to say
Thank You to all that make this show so fun!
Especially large thanks to my host Dave F. , the world famous Swedish Humorist and Popcorn enthusiast. I wouldn't have it any other way!
