for me it has to be getting my first vintage card with my dad at aj's sports stop. do you remember it? right over in vienna. little shop full to the brim with pages and pages and boxes and boxes of vintage. 1960 topps warren spahn. when i got back into collecting, last fall, i got a bob gibson 1960 topps signed card.

this week was another big moment. 1953 topps satchel paige, in a beautiful well worn piece. wonderful, wonderful card.

David, I have been going to all of the Chantilly Shows for as long as I can remember, but never on Sunday. I was at the very recent Show on Saturday.

Yes, I remember AJ's Sports Stop in Vienna. I didn't go there very often because it was a fair distance from Haymarket, where I lived at that time. I do recall picking up a few of my N172 Old Judge cards of Washington players (the only N172s I collect) at AJ's back in the 1990's.
