the national...wheres the good stuff

[ValKehl]

Larry, I mostly focus on pre-War cards, so I wasn't looking for scarce post-War regionals, test issues, etc. But I did notice some Briggs Meats. John Rumierz always has some scarce post-War issues - I marveled at his large group of 1954 Blossom Dairy Charleston Senators in superb condition - John had several cards from another scarce issue that caught my eye, but I can't remember what issue it was (I have "CRS" disease real bad!). I didn't see any Gunthers - I don't think I would have missed these! A Net54er had a supply of 1948-50 Safe-T-Cards, and I was able to pick up a Mickey Vernon (an upgrade) and a Clark Griffith (Vic, thanks again!).

plenty of my money has been spent with REA
lummis is rare...have that set though...always count on rea for some regionals and test issues
obviously AHs are making huge money now selling 100k mantle and getting 20k buyers premium...so cant blame them for catering to psa market
any advance list of briggs?
rumierez is responsible for some of these checklists whose cards i cant find
sometimes i think he has the only 1

My thoughts exactly Al.

I also would love to see the list of the Briggs on the floor and in REA. Val do you remember if they were Washington or New York players?

Thanks, Glyn. Having just moved from NJ last year, figured it wasn't worth the trip from a buying standpoint for me. Still would have liked to be there for the other fun times at the National.

John is one of my fave guys to sit down and have a lot of beer with at the Nationals. Ya'll leave him alone.

That is who I bought my Lummis Peanut Butter type card example of Puddinhead Jones off of shortly after Leon's Heritage Auction last year. I don't know John Rumirez personally, but I recognized the name as we were exchanging PMs. He wrote that he has been collecting Lummis Peanut Butter cards for 40 years and still only has 9/12 cards in the set.

I was shocked when a Lummis Peanut Butter card showed up on eBay with a reasonable BIN.
