warshawlawI was privileged to spend a day with Don Newcombe a few years ago talking extensively about baseball history and his role in it. There is a long thread about the experience somewhere on here.

I also got to briefly talk cards with football HOFer Willie Brown at a show about 15 years ago. He bought a 1967 Mays from me. Mostly we talked about which cards he liked from the era. Apparently, he really liked Mays and was going after his cards.
At the National a few years ago I inadvertently spent some time talking boxing with Celtics HOFer Sam Jones. I say "inadvertently" because I didn't know who he was until after he left and the dealer I was with told me.
