National Pick-Ups

[aelefson]

Hi-
This was my first time at the national and I thought it was an excellent show. I am sorry I could not meet more board members, but those I did, (like Ted Z, Brett, Kjavic, Marty K, BigFish, Mghpro and others) I very much enjoyed seeing.
Coming from MA, I drove down with the purpose of selling some cards, and a large group of memorabilia. I sold almost everything I had, which usually does not happen for me even at large regional shows. The kicker was that my largest sale was to a dealer from Massachusetts! The items I sold I consider my excess from the last 6 months of agressive flea market and antique shopping (including a very successful Brimfield last month). My biggest problem was that I had very little time to go shopping! Thus, my only pickups were a M101-2 Jake Stahl early Thursday morning (in rough shape but really cheap) and the German stamps below. I like that the Lajoie is on an intact strip and I really like the two different Leach stamps. The original price tag was way too high but the dealer came down 45.00 when he accepted my offer Friday afternoon as I was leaving.
I am already looking forward to Chicago (but I doubt I will drive). Amazing pickups from everyone so far. Gary, the photos are incredible!
