Pennsylvania dealer

[JimC]

All: I'm pretty new to the forum. I've posted a few comments and sent some private messages but this is my first thread. I was looking through some old card holders from cards I bought years ago and came across a couple from Spring Training in Wyomissing Hills, PA. They had a distinctive label and I remember the dealer as being very cool with a ton of really nice stuff. I never visited his shop (if he had one), but I bought from and traded with him at shows. This would have been in the late 80s or early 90s. I remember he paid unusual attention to condition before the SGCs and PSAs of the world had taken hold, and he helped educate me about it. I can't remember his name so I thought I’d post something to see if anyone knew who this dealer was and if he’s still around and collecting. If anyone know/remembers him I'd love the chance to send him a message.

Thanks.

Wyomissing Hills isn't far from Glyn Parson who's a member here and has always been about high grad material. Might be a match. If it's not him there's a good chance he can help you figure it out.

I go to Wyomissing PA to work on pkg equipment..a small chocolate factory - Palmer Comp.

Chocolate is not as good as Hersheys or M& M Mars..also in PA

Palmer isn't chocolate, it's "chocolate flavored candy" so as low quality as Hershey's chocolate is at least they're allowed to call it chocolate!

I know the owners of Palmer candy. I went to school with the daughter Daphne Palmer. I don’t know her parents well but have met them. When I had my temp service I was working on trying to get in there before I sold the business. Not great chocolate but nice people.

I worked for an ad agency that no longer exists that did work for them. I wasn't involved with their account, so I didn't get to know them. They were very generous with their product as it was around the office a lot!
