I probably only actually made it there a handful of times over the years, but it was a big deal each time I made it. I got to meet Bob Feller there once and was on their mailing list for a few years and really enjoyed those old catalogs when they arrived.

Yes Rick!!! I would love to go down there with you! I do owe you some trips...
We should get together soon and do some trading...just like the old days.
I was recently down in Perrinville and those memories came flashing back. I used to save my coins and and any money I could and have them look up commons I picked out of the Becket (early 80's) and drive the counter people nuts...all I really wanted was cards from early years. I too met Bob Feller there and got a few things signed...and he hit on my mom, it was a pretty weird day and memory...I bet we were there the same day. Small world!
