Simon/Pomilla, two companeros from Da Bronx ... Johnny and the pony 1.2.3.
Great story, great memories.

Richard, I'm not from Da Bronx, I'm from the upper east side of Manhattan - El Barrio, and went to Seward Park H.S. in the lower east side.
While there during the late 1940's, I got my hot knishes from the street cart vendors on Grand St and DeLancey (I'm salivating as I write this.)
Some of Da Bronx schools that I played football against at Randalls Island were Clinton, Monroe and Columbus.

Thanks for the memories.

Joe Pelaez

PS. Richard, during the 1980's, at several shows, I've picked up a few auto's from you. Thank you.

Another New Yawkah checking in. This photo was taken at a ballgame in the Bronx in 1958. That's me on the right with some of my homies from Spanish Harlem, Dino, Pony Boy and Joey P. Wonder what became of them.

That's an awesome photo - looks like a screenshot from a movie!

Having grown up in Arl Hts, IL, -and completed a few successful, easy and helpful deals with Steve Murray over the past several years, I am pleased to hear of other stand-up collectors in the same fine municipality!

Go Huskies!

Jason,
That is awesome. If you played in the AHYBA, I probably reffed your games as I have been working that league since I student taught in town in 1977. Deal with Steve worked out great today, as you might have expected. I picked up some Dietsche and Morgan Red Belt postcards and he got a C46 McGinnity, a Grignon, a Hooper Collins-McCarthy, etc. Everybody happy and no money changed hands. It was a beautiful thing!

Hey Rich,

You are on the wrong site if you are looking for Angela.

Jeff was a pleasure to deal with. Those two hours of haggling (not really) went by so fast. I'm really pleased to have picked up the C46 McGinnity though I had to convince Jeff that it was Bob McGinnity not Joe before he would throw it into the mix. I also picked up some nice R314s in the trade.

Thanks!!

I went to Monroe. Ed Kranepool was a year ahead of me when I was there. We had terrific baseball teams and I went to many games. One year we made the city finals against Curtis HS but we lost 5-4
