Cool story, and nice to put a face to the name. I actually really liked the photo of the Washington Times cards more. What incredible cards. Nice display in the background also. Dan, you should show more of your collection.

The article mentions that a few HoFers will be for sale again soon? Or did I misinterpret the article?? I'm interested to know (a) which HOF rookie collector bought them and (b) which cards will be available???

Any of these cards would trump the "1 of 1" thread that's currently up!!

Very cool article for sure!!

A picture of Dan Mckee with a big smile on his face, holding graded cards. That is going to come in very handy down the road...

Kudos to Jonathan Pitts, the author of this piece.

It is some kind of minor miracle that somebody wrote a piece like this for a non-hobby publication. And gave readers the impression that collecting was not dead, cards were not worthless, etc.

There is hope yet...

Cheers,
Blair

Great article. I was thinking how funny/sad it is the article would probably be one of like 2-3 in the entire paper that I'd be interested in reading.
