The Origin of Baseball Card Shows

Posted By: Larry

The original NYC shows were run by Paul Gallagher and Bob Gallagher(amazing material was found by these guys way before Al Rosen) and were around since 1973/74.....Early names include : Mike Aronstein TCMA, Lou Michtisch,Dan Dischley, Barry Halper, George Lyons, L&R Card Co, Denny Collectors Den, Rex Coyle,Tony Spaneo, Wayne Varner, Steve Friedman, Rob Lifson(he commuted back then!) etc...These were earlier than the Reid/Jacobowitz or Taylor/Schmierer shows, also St. Louis and Detroit had fabulous shows....Cards were stacked on tables in rubber bands or stamp albums, great time for collecting!

I have almost every button which was given out at the door since 1973, ......I was very young then but I am proud I was part of that era...........
