WSSCA card show in Seattle (Shoreline) this weekend

[SteveMitchell]

Enjoyed my near-4 hours at the 41st annual WSSCA show. If you are near north Seattle/Shoreline, WA on 6/2/13, stop by the show. Lots of PCL stuff (Mark Macrae, Keith Schneider and a sprinkling of others) including more Zeenuts than nuts, for sure.

Mark M. had a LARGE box of mainly baseball-themed postcards and I located one that was shy-of-postcard size and blank-backed. It is some kind of promotional piece for Bill & Ben's GoodYear Tires and the 1929 Texas League Fort Worth Panthers who were managed by Jake Atz (note the reference to "Lets Help Atz and his Cats" at the bottom of card.

Jake Atz appeared in T206 with the White Sox and, while his big league stop was relatively brief, he enjoyed a lengthy minor league career both as a player and skipper. (Hat tip to baseball-reference.com)

Again, if you're in the northwoods of Seattle tomorrow, stop by the 41st WSSCA show and find a gem or two for your own collection! Thanks to all who made this year's show very enjoyable for me!
