Chantilly Va. Show ... March 26-27-28

[danmckee]

I will be set up there for the first time in about 20 years. I used to love the show but haven't been there for a long time. I needed something to do since I quit the Philly show.

Brockelman and Luckey Auctions will be represented at the booth so everyone is welcome to stop by to smack Scott around a bit. Don't worry, I will hold him still for you.

looking forwarded to seeing everyone and please say hello and mention that you are a board member.

Thanks
Dan Mckee

I will be set up at my usual location (across from Wayne H.). I look forward to seeing all the Net54 folks. I've picked up more T205s and T206s. Also, for the more modern collector I am breaking up the Exhibit (1947-66)collection I purchased from the recent Brockelman & Luckey auction...there were some nice "hard to find" cards. Larrie

P.S. I am willing to try helping other Net54ers even if it is not from my stock...thanks Joe!

Forget about attending the Cardoholic meetings.

I'm a Cardoholic ... and it's OK to be challenged.

Hey guys, I might be a little busy for the pre show get together, but I'll try to give it a shot ... if not, I'll catch all you Sickos at the show.

Jim Rivera ... That's a great Back image site ... looking forward to meeting up with you, and Jim Jr again on Saturday.

Dan McKee ... Welcome back to the Chantilly Show.
Don't be too surprised if you see more Vintage dealers heading towards the area of the First, and Second Battle of Bull Run/Manassas.

The show is not just an autograph show.

Having been to many shows, cross country during the "80's, the show is not a Willow Grove show, but nowaday's ... What show is?

During the last few years, this show has been re- attracting (my word) more vintage from dealers, and walk ins.
The area is being rediscovered, and you just don't know what you're going to come up with.
Looking forward to two things.
Meeting up with the guy that I got a damn good looking T206 Washington Elberfeld for my beater set a few years back (you) ... and vintage dealer Scott Brockelman.

Val Kehl ... Glad to hear that you picked up a T217 (Stein) Mono, plus an E222- A.W.H. at the last Chantilly show ... to anyone familiar with the sets, we're talking about two of the toughest sets on the planet ... What a country.

My absents from the Chantilly show was due to a short illness.

My absents from the internet was due to an illiterate, and computer/high tech challenged mind.
I did not connect my computer in 1998, it was done by my now 94 year old uncle.
He used a second phone line for the connection.
Sometime in early Feburary, Verizon suggested that I might save some money by getting rid of the rarely used second line.
Nowadays if anyone says that they can save you some money ... you listen.

Yup ... I listened, and this computer illiterate disconnected himself from the entire planet.
Talk about going through a cold turkey, and the shakes.
Val, I'll see ya at the show.

Susan, and Don Ortolani, AKA Don Otto .....
Don is an old school dealer, and extremely knowledgeable.
You never know what you'll find at his table.

Larrie Dean ... Thanks again amigo.
Asides from vintage cards, I enjoy talking about Machu Pichu, and other interesting sites with you.
See you at the show.

Hope to see all of you at the show.

Glad to hear you're OK, Joe, missed you last time. We have much to discuss, my friend. And welcome to beautiful Chantilly, Mr. McKee. I don't know what we did to deserve you coming south, but whatever it is I hope it's not the last time. I think everybody on the board going to the show should buy at least one card from Dan just to keep him coming back. Except me, I'm not a card guy and therefore exempt from my rule, but I will give him a great big hug unless he pays me not to. Anyway, it's been getting lonelier and lonelier for us vintage guys out there lately, but maybe the tide can actually shift back our way. Many thanks to you, Joe, for pumping things up, maybe we don't have to just sit back and witness the demise of the vintage show after all.

Hank,

It's always good to see you at these "local" shows as well as at the National.

Alan, I know it's still early, but who are the stalwarts showing up to the pre show meet up?

Thank you.

I'll be set up with my partner in the McLean, VA shop, Ron Barrett. We are in the center of the hall toward the front. Hope you'll stop by.

I hope to make it to the lunch.

Just got off the phone with Joe - sounds like that show was great.
Too bad it seems there are no really "good" shows in the Northeast
anymore.
I have heard the Willow Grove/Ft Washington/Reading show has dried up;
alhtough I have not been to one in a while.

Btw, deperately seeking a E222 - burnt, puncholes, trimmed, eaten, laundry washed....well I think you guys get the point.

Regards,

Mark

My eyes lit up when I saw the AWH, a board member was at the table and had about 10 cards out but that one was still in the case!! For about 5 seconds after that at least.
