February Pickups

[Zan]

This story began in 2014 after a friend of mine wrote this article about my collection as he followed me to a January White Plains show. After the story was published I received a lot of nice comments and attention from it from collectors and friends.

Among the notoriety I received was an email from a man living in Michigan writing on behalf of his wife, whose father had recently passed. While going through his belongings they came across a postcard of Hank Greenberg that was signed to her father. It was a treasured piece of this man's collection.

I had several rounds of negotiations with the man regarding the postcard. However, I was strapped for cash at the time, and conversation fizzled out.

Fast forward to 2017; on a long train ride home from work I thought again about this postcard and wondered if they still had it. Luckily I was able to find the conversation in my emails and reached back out to the gentleman who I was speaking with 3 years ago and asked him if they still had the postcard.

To my surprise, they did.

We picked up where we left off, agreed on a price and the deal was done! Funny part was that neither of them had a PayPal account, so I sent a check in the mail, the old fashioned way, which I found funny.

The postcard arrived in the mail the other day, I opened it live on my YouTube channel. Please watch the video to see what else they included in the package for me. It was quite memorable.

From my final day at Spring Training: Stephen Strasburg. Hope he can put everything together and stay healthy this year.

Looks like you had a good spring!

Thank you! I did do pretty well this year. Next year I think I'll go back to Arizona. I find the Arizona camps to be a lot more fan friendly.

Got this one for a friend, but I think I'm keeping it... It's too cool. It came from the estate of a woman who worked for Marty Robbins, and saw Mr Cash on a regular basis... The photo is about the size of a baseball card, I guess it's from the 50's or early 60's as it has that tinny look about it...
