Actually, the arcade was free. Here were my pickups:

Stopped by SMP in Grapevine on Monday and bought 100 jersey and auto cards from their 2/$5 box.


Friday show pickups: 1952 Topps House (slightest bit of red on tongue) and Garagiola, 1960 Mays with extra brown bar variation, 1910 era postcard with ball glued to bat for prop, and oversized basketball jersey relic (freebie for entry).


Saturday pickups: Down to like 3 needed for 1959 Fleer Ted Williams set. One of these had a crease I didn't notice...d'oh. Two Scoops of historical aviators: Chuck Yeager and Jimmy Doolittle. Armour "Mantel" blue coin. Don Mattingly jersey piece for only $2. And bought the 1952 and 1953 Eddie Robinson cards from Scott Brockelman's table since the 98-year-old was there signing them. Great signature for a nonagenarian.


Eddie Robinson signing the cards.

Got to meet a bunch of boardmembers and companies I've bought from before on eBay: Leon, midmo, Rich Klein, Scott B, Rhys Yeakley, skeeve214, and many more.

Just got back from a great three day stay in Frisco! Easy walk over from the Embassy Suites next door. Great vintage selection, added around 20 T cards and a few E's plus some early football.

On Saturday drove the 1.2 miles to Jerry's new practice facility and enjoyed a bit of the Draft Party going on at the Blue Star camp.

Thanks Leon and Kyle, job well done. Great to see Mike, Rich, Leon, Roger, Rick and a number of old, old friends. Some I had done business with in the early 1980's.

Enjoyed doing this show and met a lot of nice folks from Texas, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, and Tennessee and a couple of other states. Much more laid back crowd than northerners. The show was good enough that I would put it on my calendar if my knees hold up long enough.

It would be fun though, to take the boards off the ice and give each collector a pair of skates so they could skim the tables faster at the start!

Bob thanks for the visit and the Post Football cards!

Mike:

Who spent more, you or the missus?

Rich it wasn't even close, I lost by a wide margin. Note to Leon, no more shows next to huge malls.
