Thanks Rich, I look forward to seeing you again!

Hey Mike

I am hoping to make the show as Rich said.....Should be fun regardless of finding anything. I think Rich and I should be there during that time (noon) so maybe we could meet up? If anyone else wants to, the more the merrier.

Hi Steve
I am picking up Rich at about 9:15-9:30 and it takes about 45 minutes to get there from his house. We expect to be there a few hours or so....We could meet out in front, before we go in, at about 10-10:15? Or whatever time is good for you. Looking forward to it. regards

Hi Leon,

I'll be out front of the convention center around 10. See you then!

Well while WE all had a good time at this show, there really was not much there in terms of vintage or even what I went for -- which was to buy cheap wax to bust.

However; Leon, for whom I thank for driving, and myself caught up with many collectors (as he would say - they were one of us)

Amongst the people we saw were Steve -- and good luck on your project -- and don't be afraid to email me for I can get you some guidance and suggestions on research --- baseball related, not card related

Paul Rogers, who is the head of our local SABR chapter here in DFW and recently wrote a book with long-time baseball figure Eddie Robinson. Eddie and Paul did a talk/book signing at our synagogue for our yearly men's club dinner and were great guests. FYI, Eddie is 90 years young and still plays golf three times a week.

Mike Dugan, who came down from Hot Springs for the weekend. Mike helps coordinate what is called "Boiling Out" which is ostensibly about the deadball era and is held there because of all the teams that used the area to train. He thinks if all goes well the next Boilong Out will be in March, 2012. I went to the first three events and it has grown since the seven of us came down on a lark in 2002.

Among the people we saw at booths were Chris Olds, the Beckett Baseball Magazine Editor, Andy Broome, the chief vintage grader for Beckett Grading and among the dealers Roger Neufeldt, Danny Harrison and larry Dhuly,

Other people were there as well and while we all might not have bought as much as we would have liked, we all had a great time
