Cooperstown HOF card Show July 20-21....do check-out my "green" T206 sub-sets

[tedzan]

For you guys treking up to Cooperstown this weekend, drop in to check-out this show. You will find it reminiscent of those great ole shows from
back in the 1980's.

The cards you see at the dealer tables are for sale or trade. Unlike many of today's shows where choice vintage cards are like "pheasants under
glass"....only for viewing (and not for sale)....since they are designated for a future auction.

You'll find some friendly dealers selling vintage stuff at reasonable prices. And, usually following the show Saturday evening Don holds an auction.

Furthermore, for anyone interested, I will have my "GREEN" sub-sets of T206's on display......

All - SOVEREIGN set (408 cards complete)

Approaching complete....an AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 sub-set (56 of 75 cards)




Weather forecast looks fine for Friday & Sat in the Cooperstown area.....looking forward to seeing some of you.

Also, looking forward to seeing Brian Dwyer at the show. Brian has been a regular attendee for quite a number of years. Brian and Joe D. are really great guys
to share hobby stories with. So, it should be interesting to see if any other Net54er's will be attending the show.

Hey Ted, I'll stop by to check out the show as well. My buddy George usually sets up there and I haven't seen him in a while either. Best wishes and safe travels. Drew

The 33rd annual HOF weekend BB card show at the VFW building in downtown Cooperstown was again very successful. All 20 dealers
that regularly set up were quite happy with their sales. After all, you cannot beat this show's customer-to-dealer ratio (approx. 1200
attendees). And, Jimmy Spence & Co. were constantly busy with autograph collectors.

Six Net54 members visited with me and we had a great time talking and wheeling-n-dealing BB cards.

The highlite of the w/e for my wife, Charlotte, was taking photos of many HOFer's. Especially Yogi Berra, while he was "holding court"
with many fans that had gathered around him. Also, taking a photo of the ever-friendly Ernie Banks.

Ted,
What were the items in the auction, did you stay for it?

We did not stay for the auction this time. Mostly, what I saw in the auction were post-war cards.

We had to leave since we had a 7PM reservation at a new restaurant in town. We were situated
at a table next to Lou Piniella and Dave Parker.....neat guys.

Both Dave and Lou (age 68) look they are in great shape, and could still be playing in the game.
