I think this is the reason I like attending today's Nationals so much, it's not just the cards offered for sale but more importantly the comeraderie with fellow collectors. Two of my favorite moments are sitting in a hotel room with Mike Peich and Tim Newcomb for hours discussing tobacco cards over drinks and enjoying a couple of hours in Mark Macrae's room discussing Pacific Coast cards from the early 1900's, with emphasis on the 1911 Zeenut set which I was at that time attempting to complete. Mark graciously shared his knowledge of the set and all the variations of the cards and I came away from our talk with an immense bit of knowledge I doubt anyone else in the hobby could have provided.
