Chantilly Va. Show ... 30 Oct -- 1 Nov

[bbcard1]

I've had some luck at Chantilly. Picked up a nice vintage Carl Hubbell a couple of shows ago...I always like digging through Chandy Greenholt's cacophany of paper stuff...picked up some 50's APBA cards that were interesting to me. And lest I forget...last show I was able to get a slabbed 1978 Dave Parker graded PSA 1...not many of those floating around. Dollar well spent.

Sorry for the thread drift, but this is fascinating to me...what person took the time and money to send a poor condition '78 Dave Parker to PSA for grading .???

This is what this thread is all about .....

Due to illness, I was not able to go to the show that I was telling you about.

Because of Larrie's kindness, I have now added an O'Rourke T217 Mono to my collection. ..... from another dealer at the Chantilly show.

If you check out the E92 Nadja thread, you'll see the Chantilly show mentioned favorally, with appreciations.

Folks, I wasn't kidding you guys.

I hope you've recovered speedily, Joe.

Joe, I missed seeing you and chatting with you at the Chantilly Show - hope you are now recovered. I, too, picked up a T217 Mono (of Wm. Stein) and an E222 A.W.H. Caramel (of Smith) at the show (from the same dealer, I assume) for my type collection. Even after picking up a N403 Yum Yum Tobacco at this Show last March, I was very surprised to find such scarce cards this time.

I want to thank Mark, and Val for the kind words.
Val, it sounds like you did real well, I'm willing to bet that the newbies have no idea of the magnitude of your finds.
You make my answers to some of the questions sound meek.
If it were not for Larrie Dean's alert, I would not have added to my Mono set.
This would not be complete without the mention of Don Otto.
He's the one that challenges me to be around for another day.
I'm still taking my cuts at the plate, but I would have loved being at that show.

Any other finds at the show?
