Looking forward to going. Hoping to be there Sat and Sunday.

Glad to see some baseball guys signing autographs this time around.

Being the frugal guy (or cheapskate) that I am, had Joe D. posted this kind offer a little bit earlier, I would have gone to the Chantilly Show on Sunday instead of today and had much less traffic to contend with. Sigh!

How about a report, Val? Do you eat at Willard's?

Hi Hank,
I didn't have the opportunity this time to eat at Willard's Real Pit BBQ, which is a 3-minute walk from the Show venue and is located across from Chick-fil-A at the intersection of Willard Road and the service road leading to parking area for the Show. If you are a BBQ fan, you won't regret going to Willard's! https://www.dcbbq.com/menu-1

The Show seemed comparable to recent shows - pretty much the same dealers with pre-War cards. There was one new dealer by the name of Alex with lots of fantastic vintage, including manyT205s and T206s of Cobb and a large display of beautiful S74 Silks; his tables are next to Scott Russell's (the Collector Connection Auctions) tables and close to SGC's set up.

With my pre-War collecting focuses being rather narrow, I knew my chances of finding something I had to have were slim and none, and none it was. But, it's always fun to go to this Show (I live only about 10 miles away), and I did give SGC some cards to grade.

Our favotite TV star, Dan Mckee, was set up with his usual display of incredible pre-War cards. Knowing Dan has a superb collection of WaJo cards, I mentioned to Dan that one of the cards I had just dropped off at SGC is a W551 with the rare Wool's American-Maid Bread back of WaJo (pic below). I got this card at a local card show about 30 years ago, and I have long happily believed it to be a 1-of-1 card, as there aren't any in the pop reports. When Dan casually responded that he also had a raw example of this card, you could have knocked me over with a feather! The lesson I learned is to not believe that any of my cards are 1-of-1s until I have checked with Dan!

I went yesterday and today. Show was real solid. Lots of good vintage. I cut a deal on this. Lots of the same dealers and saw a number of Net54 people. Val, I am sorry I missed you- I would have loved to catch up.
