I mainly limit my collection to trading and post cards that actually feature a picture of the subject (no Tristar cut-autos for me) but I have to thank Net54 member, Alan Strout, for my favorite item in my Paul Blair collection.
I believe my first glove was also a Paul Blair model, 1971ish and if I remember correctly, a Spaulding glove.
