Loved the shirt Val.

Thanks, Phil. This t-shirt, which pictures my Hugh Jennings back run, was a surprise gift from two Net54ers (thanks again, Steve & Bryan).

Val’s shirt was the first thing I noticed when I looked the pictures which is pretty crazy considering the amazing cards everywhere. Definitely a cool shirt.

Looks like it was a great event, sorry that I missed it as I've been away from the board for a few months.

Hope there's another one next year as I'd love to attend.

+1 agree Ben that Old Mill Joe Jackson is over the top.

My Dream Card

And some amazing other cards and then of course the Famous shirt. Loved it

The incredible cards notwithstanding was the opportunity to connect Net54 user ID's with names and faces, to spend time appreciating others hard work and determination in assembling collections that are meaningful to them, and the opportunity to just have a fun day hanging out, talking and sharing stories with others with a common passion.

It was reminiscent to me of days long ago of "shows" in very small locales - people's basements, small hotel shows and a show I went to as a kid held once a month in the basement of a retail store.

Thank you Ryan and Andrew for organizing this event.

It was great to see so many amazing pre-war cards in one place.

Great event, great people. Thanks to Ryan and Andrew for organizing. It was great to meet everyone.

Thank you for pulling everyone together and hosting that amazing event!

Did anyone take roll call of those that attended? Could be neat to track how many people attend these events for the future.

Great Event! Thank you Ryan and Andrew!
It was fantastic to talk to some old friends and to make some new ones at this terrific gathering. I was able to set up a table with original vintage photos, many of which were Conlon images used for cards. I got a great response and had a fun time. Thank you again. I look forward to the next one!

What a great get together! I wish some of the photos had IDs (with the peoples permission of course) just so I could see what some of these legendary collectors look like. Congrats to all who made it happen and to those lucky ones who attended.

That Carl Hubbell photo truly was tricky.

I thought it was one of these two cards

Thanks to Andrew and Ryan for putting on such a great event. As Howard said, it was great to reconnect with some and meet others. There was great knowledge in that room. It was nice to be in a setting where you could have some long discussions and people didn't feel rushed.

Even saw a few cards in binders and penny sleeves I never thought I'd see raw again.
