Return of the Jedi
I am posting this as a new thread for my good hobby friend, John Spencer (hi John). He put it in the new pick ups thread along with a few cards he recently won. But I guess in hindsight, John is a new pick up for us too. Kind of like NOS.... John and I go way back to the very first card forum I (and many of us) was on, and where this forum evolved from back in around 1998-1999, FullCount. He and another infrequent poster here, Mike Williams, ran that board. We got reacquainted at this years National and had a wonderful conversation as always. It is a great pleasure to have John on our forum.
This is from John (Net54baseball ID Yoda) and is also in the new pick up thread.... "Well, after about ten years in the wilderness, not exactly like John the Baptist, and minus a London house and a wife, I, John Spencer, have returned to the US, where I am now living in Stuart, Fl on the East Coast. And what better way to start building a new life than to re-embrace my first true obsession - old baseball cards. The first order of business was to form, out of the ashes of Full Count (some might remember that fine old firm,) a new LLC, Past Ball Vintage Cards, and the second was to join this august forum. Leon and I go back away. In keeping with the thread, although my pick up was September, I was thrilled to get in Leon's auction both E92 Harry Davis Croft Candy Red and Blue. Wow. Nice to be back. Yoda" .

Welcome back, Mr. Spencer
With the LLC name you picked, perhaps you should buy a Mickey Owen card. ha-ha

BTW, welcome, John. I was not a member of the old forum, but I am always very happy to have a well-known (and liked) member return to the fray. PS, don't store any cards in the basement. I have it on good authority that the east side of Florida gets a good deal of the wet stuff.
