REFLECTIONS of YOUTH

Hi Ted, yes I met Frank Nagy in the late 70's at Plymouth Michigan shows run by The Toerpes (spelling). He was always very friendly and helpful. He and Bill Mastro were attached at the hip as they say. I bought several items from Frank. I know when I bought some S74 silks he saw that they were all Detroit players and said too bad, collecting Detroit will be expensive with Ty Cobb on the team. Oddly enough I never bought anything in his monthly auctions. This was the big annual show every year in the Detroit area. So I saw Frank and many other collectors once a year. Another story, I just sold some Heilbroner Yearbooks that were from Briggs Stadium from the 1930's to Jay Barry who lives in Las Vegas. I knew Jay from his ads in SCD in the 70's and 80's. He lived in Oak Park Mi. I emailed him to verify if he was the same person, he is, small world.

Happy collecting

Joe
