David still does some shows in the New york area. He spent some time in India where he meditated, lost weight, and grew his hair long. He seems very happy and relaxed and it is always great to see him.

had problems with Festberg and his grading was often spotty, I never had a problem with him and bought frequently from him. Glad to hear he's okay. Saw Spector (sp?) at the National this year. He seems to be dealing about 80% in vintage hockey now.

Phil Spector is retired & still lives in Cherry Hill, NJ. He sets up at the Ft. Washington (Reading) shows on a regular basis. He was set up there last weekend. Really nice guy. Huge Flyers fan too. His wife, Joan, is really a sweet lady too.

I bought some old NFL programs through a Festberg auction when he used to advertise regularly (about 10 years ago?). He shipped them even before my check arrived which was really amazing since I wasn't a regular customer. I thought he always had some pretty neat stuff.

did you have any scoreboard stock?

Uncle Festy was a good guy fo years then wet way south when the big "D" hit him too hard. He did some improper things after that and had no stayng power in cards or reputaion.

Wow, names from the past.

Festberg could never grade well, but his weekly aucitons always had tons of neat stuff in them.

I had my worst transaction ever with Mr. Festberg. I am glad that he is no longer in the business and screwing over collectors. He did give me a good laugh when he offered to fire his grader but would not give me a refund.
