National 2011

Great find Mike!! I am glad the trophy is going to your collection. Heck, with a $200 price tag, it probably would not have lasted more than one hour at a Flea Market let alone the National. Wow. I would have had to pinch myself after that purchase. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Mike --

What a great pickup on the D&M trophy, but I think the story is even better.
I also really like that HOF pennant -- I've seen a lot Cooperstown pennants over the years, but never that one.

And finally, I also really like your focus on crossed bats -- they do look great!

Great stuff Mike! I love a good price story. Keeps me excited about the hunt. So bummed that I couldn't attend the show. Have a buddy there who has his work covering a hotel suite and tix to two MLB games - and I can't go!! Arhhh!

Thaks Greg. I simply can't resist them...even the trophy has them

Brock...I still have a way to go to catch up with you in the Brocking department, but this is a good one

Carlton took a ton of pics at the show. If there are any specific questions about what was there lemme know. I looked at every single table at least eight times. If they had cards, I was only looking for pinbacks or memorabilia they may have picked up, but not the cards themselves. In fact, that is where most of my pinbacks came from.
