Re: The 1st National Sports Collectors Convention
Leon,
By displaying this piece you brought back a very fond memory for me. I attended
that show. I distinctly recall going on that Sunday, August 31, 1980. At the time I
was 12 years old. I attended the show with my brother and an older friend of ours
who drove us there.
Mostly what I remember was the assortment of memoribilia on display at the
various booths. There was one other thing I remember about that show too. My
brother and I split up and later met in front of one particular booth. It was the booth
of an older fellow by the name of Kovak. That old man was a grouch! He chased us
both off, something about not having lots of room for people to view his things if we
were loitering there. That show was 35+ years ago, I have no idea whatever happened
to that guy...
Anyways, thanks for posting this piece.
