Just got back from my annual extended visit to Cooperstown. Spent 10 beautiful days there. Weather was unusually warm for up there, mid 80s first part of the week and we did get some rain for a couple of days but it was, as always, a great time. The highlight was visiting Colliersville Antiques (about 30 minutes south of Cooperstown) where I had a nice time talking with Don Flewelling and his wife about baseball cards and memorabilia. Don promotes the card show in Cooperstown on induction weekend at the VFW (right across the street from the HOF), another great event. He sold me a couple of nice T206 Southern Leaguers while I was there. That was a bonus. If you are in the area, it is worth a trip to Colliersville, just to talk to Don about his 60 years of collecting. BTW, Don had a lot of nice things to say about Ted Z. as well.
