Paul [Markoe] is a fixture at most SoCal shows and will hopefully be at ours. Nice man, king of the lower grade cards. From him I picked up an E210 Rice with a ghost back, a Zeenut Oscar Vitt and a Diamond Match cover of Izzy Goldstein. Ryan had nice 1915 Susini Tris Speaker that is now part of my collection. If I'd had $30K lying around I'd have purchased his 1920s Negro League HOFers; those cards were the best things at the show that I saw. Also got a few boxing PCs and several photos from Jim Jeffries' boxing facility signed and stamped by the staff photographer there. Very much enjoyed visiting with everyone though I did not sell a thing. I don't realize how much I miss shows until I get to go to one...

Paul had a two player Brooklyn Old Judge that I really regret not buying... I got all condition prude at the hacked off borders... In hindsight, it had perfect photo quality, and I could have "fixed" it with an actress card.

I'll see you guys in May, if I have enough stuff I want to sell at the time, I'll get a table. A saturday only show really is a great idea.
