CyHi,
I really enjoyed the Chantilly Show this time. I want to thank everyone who stopped by my table. The weekend is a long, tedious event. Having some good people stop by really makes the whole experience worthwhile.
It was fun talking old cards right there in the front of the hall. I know that the vintage selection isn't what it is at Reading or the National but it was nice to see some people that truly enjoy the older cards.
And I even bought an autograph at the show myself. A few years ago Kenny Stabler appeared at Chantilly to sign and he was wonderful to talk with. So at this show I went up to tell him how much I appreciated the conversation the two of us had back then, and he was even more gracious. I figured I should buy his rookie card and get it signed. (I have a few autographed rookie cards.) So I bought a nice Near Mint rookie card and went up at the end of his signing time and had him autograph it for me to remember the event. If you ever get a chance to meet Stabler, do so. He is great to talk with.
Hopefully, I will see all of you at the next Chantilly show. The next one takes place July 6,7,8.
Sincerely,
Cy
