Last on the right standing is Jerry Hermele, D.C. area collector of panoramas, etc., who passed away 15-20 years ago.

Hi Hank, Thank you. I couldn't remember Jerry's last name. I believe he was a federal judge. Jim

I always thought these smaller "sub-set" shows should have been in a "meeting room" at the NSCC show instead of another location.

To me, these type of events should be featured even more at an NSCC as they add to the show and don't really take away from the primary event.

SABR Ballparks Committee may be somewhere to inquire about the remaining names.

Rich, Up until the 1989 Chicago show (Hyatt Regency downtown), they were. Whether it was for tobacco cards, uniforms, Japanese cards, etc ...these mini gatherings were one of the best parts of the National Conventions. The closest thing you have now are the Net54 National gatherings and Andrew's specialty gathering near Washington DC. If you are serious about collecting a particular theme, then or now, you make the effort to attend.
