Rob, Hank & Jason - Thanks for your kind words! Not only am I thrilled with these pickups, but I am also pleased that I was able to trade cards that no longer fit my collecting focuses for all of them, and I even received some $$ in one of the trades. But then, I made the mistake of telling my wife, who came to Cleveland with me, how much I didn't spend of the $$ that I brought with me to the Show. She responded, "we'll now have more $$ to spend on our sightseeing trip to Michigan"! Following the Show, we toured around the "glove" of Michigan for a week, and we had lots of fun and the best vacation weather we have ever experienced.
Hank - Sorry I missed seeing you, and congrats on your pick-ups. I spent the first 1.5 days of my 2-day stay going around the show and making a list of what interested me, and I put Leland's 1924 Washington/WaJo "Pennant Winners" pin on my list, as the price seemed quite reasonable. When I returned on the afternoon of my 2nd day to buy it, I learned from a Leland's staffer that you had purchased it, which completely erased my initial disappointment.
Best to each of you,
Val
