The Nationals through the eyes of my 14yr old son

[Michael Peich]

I met Travis at Leon and Scott's table yesterday afternoon. Jay Miller introduced us whereupon Travis and I began talking about T206 backs. He showed me his new collection.

I then negotiated with Jay to buy some T209-II cards I needed. With Travis at my side, I was able to a arrive at a slightly lower price with Jay. At the conclusion of the deal I turned to Travis and told him I'd pay him a negotiator's fee and buy him a different back for his set. We walked over to Chris and Kristin Buckler's, and now Travis is the happy owner of a T206 Cycle back. Thanks to Chris for his generosity.

This is the sort of encouragement we should all extend to younger collectors, and I am impressed with the support Ted, Leon, Jay, and Chris gave Travis.

Thanks for the help, Travis, and good luck with your back set. BTW, I know where there is a blue Old Mill!!

Cheers,
