Chantilly/DC area roll call

[bigwinnerx]

Back. Wandered with my daughter for a while, she did very well. A nice vendor gave her an old beanie baby as a gift. Made her day.



Bbcard1, our paths did not seem to cross this time. I hope you survived all those Steeler fans there today. Wow!

A lot of the prewar talk seemed to be about the national, which is too bad since I won't be there. Maybe in October. I mentioned T206 to one dealer and mentioned my gravitation to Philadelphia players of those cards and even with a Bender and Collins in his case, instead he pointed me to a binder of post-war Phillies. Oh well.

My only purchases of the day were 2 thick newspaper clipping scrapbooks from 1941 and 1947. The 1947 one has original articles, for example, talking about Jackie coming up from Montreal and what it meant. The other has some clippings and pictures of Ty Cobb and lots of discussion about players getting drafted and what it meant for teams. Very interesting stuff!

Hope all had a good show. See you in October.

Mike, looked for you and didn't see you and your daughter...hope to catch you next time. I didn't find much, but decided to play the cards that were dealt to me, so to speak. Picked up a couple of newer cards, a couple of bargain things.
