Kind words, and I very much remember those days as well. Sometimes it seems so long ago, but certain things bring it back very vividly!

All is well here, now doing a lot of work for museums and national touring exhibitions. Still collecting a bit (though mostly game-worn Mike Trout stuff).

Hope you and the family are well. Would be great to catch up sometime!

Not to derail this thread too much

I was fortunate to visit Doug & Chad's museum & spend the day there
Incredible! They even served lunch
Fantastic hosts!

Room after room of cards & memorabilia, & not just sports.
Like Fonzi & Arnold's Terminator jackets, a whole room of Lucy memorabilia
pinball machines, tobacco shop posters from Allen & Ginter, Duke's, Kimball's etc..
& a whole room w/ binder after binder of cards, I spent awhile just on the N284 Buchner binder.

Here's a shot of my wife Carole, standing next to a life size Shaq bobblehead wearing his game used jersey.
Flanked on the walls, were jersey's of Kobe, Elgin & Kareem & Kareem's crutches
& she's holding Shaq's sneaker, so big she could sleep in it
