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

[Drew6]

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.

Hi Ted- glad you had a good show....hope Charlotte enjoyed the weekend too.

[tedzan]

Charlotte had been to Cooperstown before, but not on HOF weekend. Between meeting Yogi, Ernie Banks, Lou Piniella, Dave Parker, Steve Carlton, etc.,
and visiting several museums, and Antique shops, and taking the boat tour of Lake Otsego....she really enjoyed the weekend while I was doing the show.

Next year, you and Judy should join us up there.

Best regards,
