A Note To My Fellow Hobbyists from Joshua Leland Evans

[Leon]

Very well said Josh. I hope you continue your medical recovery and continue feeling as well as can be. You certainly have a knack for writing and I share others thankfulness of your postings on this board. I am a late comer to the collecting world (going on close to 20 yrs now) but love hearing of the old day stories. And your speeches at the Net54baseball dinners are always the highlight of the night. (*besides my Corona's with limes). I look forward to seeing and hearing you at our Dinner again this year. Thanks again my friend and thanks so much for your support of our board. It is appreciated.

Interesting and good read for the new year, it's hard to make everyone happy in this hobby and just like Josh we all have had our ups and downs – but the hobby for me is just as fun as it was 20 years ago

Josh - visit Barry and I at the Mansfield Ma show anytime!

Happy New Year Everyone

Well said Josh. Here's hoping that 2015 brings you continued happiness and prosperity (and a new kidney as well!)

I received the catalog - auction looks fantastic!

Thank you again.

My one and only time meeting you was at the National in Atlanta in 1991/1992 and we talked at that time about the next "hot" item in baseball memorabilia. You told me Negro League items and we talked for several minutes about those items , just you and me . Well I took your advice and I can say that then as you always were and have been since were a visionary...you were right and I followed your advice and that it was sound advice. But oh how the hobby has changed since then!
My best wishes to you .
You still do great auctions . I always look forward to them.

Very well said, Josh, and I wish you a healthy and happy 2015!

"The stuff"... I like that! Simple, to the point, and... that's what it is!

Hi Josh, I'm glad I took the time to read your entire post. After a really stressful Xmas season at the Post Office, I needed something like this to put my minor problems on the back burner and appreciate what I have.

I hope to run into you at a show sometime.
