Was he wearing sweatbands?

Ok, since I couldn't give a rats patoot about major league baseball then I wouldn't know.....but I am happy for anyone that has good clean fun in sports or sports related stuff. Pro sports just aren't my cup of tea. I love the collecting hobby though .

Hi guys - sorry, I've been swamped and am just now getting back on during a quick break.

Wendesday evening (Dec. 7) is a time I can probably meet for a bit. But as someone mentioned earlier, I really can't leave the hotel much, and if anything breaks with my Club at that time, then I'd have to skip out.

If anyone is interested, I can search out a quiet spot to gather. This is a big hotel and depending on the size of the group we could probably find a space. Maybe it's just for a beer or iced tea and an hour or so of chat? I'm just interested in putting names to faces and being able to talk cards for a bit.

Let me know.

Brad

Leon, with my eyes the way they currently are -- I would really appreciate it if you could handle the driving if you'd like to go. Depending on times we can either meet at my house or at my office.

And yes, if we firm up the plans, there are a couple of other people I would contact to say I'm coming to the hotel

Hey Rich
I do my Salvation Army gig on Wednesdays now so I will already be passing by the Anatole at 6pm anyway. I doubt it makes sense for me to go past it to Plano then turn around and come back to where I just left? That being said lets see if there are other takers that can help and then go from there....

Hi guys - sorry we were unable to gather for an impromptu Net54 gathering in Dallas last week. That's just such a hectic event, it's hard to find time to get free.

I'd like to thank those who suggested shops to visit in the Dallas area. I was able to get to Nicks on Thursday afternoon and was able to scratch five 206s off my list (he had maybe 40 or so to choose from), as well as a group of '55 Topps All-Americans.

His shop is nice and clean and well organized. He even has a little "museum" in the back. His prices are reasonable and he's very helpful and is a nice guy to chat with.

I would highly suggest a visit to Nicks for anyone visiting the Dallas area.
