Great picture! When I saw the post title and then that the pic was from Detroit I was hoping to see collector Jim Hamon in there. I used to marvel at the picture of his Wagner card he had up in his Detroit area store.

Thank you for sharing. I'll agree with John it has been a while that we have had an interesting post. Those were the good old days when collecting was still for the most part collecting
You had a very nice Wagner back then.
Thank you for sharing it with us, great post.

1 wedding ring visible...hence reinforcing the vintage card collector demographic...and the early 70's were well before the processed food epidemic causing rampant obesity!

Cool thread. Ron Hammon passed away too....I think about 15 20 yrs now. The wags he had displayed in his store "Great American Pastime", was one I was very familiar with, (he didn't own it though).....seems to have vanished from the hobby scene. When Ron had his "Tally Hall" store I bought a whole book of 52 topps hi#s for 5 bucks a piece. They were actually placed back to back in pages. He was cool and had a collection that was staggering.....I was so envious that he had the little glendale salesman booklet that I needed for years. As I recall Ron was a retired Det. cop and had a third shop part owned by the fire commissioner. Ron's son was big into cards too...dont know what happened to him. Great picture.

Jim Hamon had/has a great collection, have not talked to him years. A great guy.


Bought many Detroit cards from Mastro and Nagy at those early shows.
