george gogolI returned home last night at 10:00. I was at the show when the doors opened Friday and again on Sat. It was fantastic!! Vintage cards galore. The first several rows were very pricey and I didn't buy a thing. Then I found a fellow Michigander, Mark Irodenko of Outfield Sports and it was all over. I picked up a total of 29 t206's and 1 T201. Ted Z. and Scott Brockelman (sorry if I butchered your name Scott) sold me several t206's. It was great meeting guys from the board and buying from my favorite dealers, Dave S. (Bagger) and his pal Frank, along with Outfield Sports. I couldn't believe how many dealers were paying high prices for anything prewar. I wanted to trade and they would rather give me cash, that worked just fine for me.
On Sat. my parents came up from Dayton and went also. My dad also collects the monster and added several HOF'ers he needed. My mom had a ball and started her own set, the Meeca Double Folds (T201). It was a great weekend and I can't wait for Chicago!
