As much as I love the Plano show for what it is, if you're coming THAT far just for a show, you might consider the two-day show that occurs twice a year. In August, the show was actually the same day as the Plano show. Not sure we'll get that lucky again. I have to drive 45-60 minutes to those locations, so it is nice when they are the same day.

If anyone is interested, I have an article about one of the players in the 1955 AA set - Chris Cagle - who is largely forgotten today but was a real headliner back in the day. http://www.hapmoran.org/images/Cagle.pdf

Interesting article, Rev! Also noticed a few other mentions of players from this set, with Friedman, Heffelfinger, and The Four Horsemen showing up.

To the OP, it's nice to see you enjoying such a classic set. I enjoyed reading some of your blog and checking out the cards. Good luck!

I received this one last week from Chuck. Thank you so much for helping me get one card closer to completing my project!

If I don't have any posts before, I hope that everyone has a great Christmas!

Won this auction last night, pretty excited! It's only an SGC 10, but it will help me complete my set sooner getting it in such a low grade!
