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.

Dan once loaned me $20 at a show after I spent all my money right before finding a deal I couldn't pass up. I just read this article, so I'd say we are even.

That was my $20, he said you took it.

Dan is one of my favorite people in the hobby, was very happy to see this. Being around his old man as a kid was one of my childhood collecting moments that I will never forget....of course I didn't know Dan then he was too busy chasing girls.

Cheers,

John

Where did they find that male model to show off the cards at the start of the article?

Seriously though, nice article and Dan is a great guy to deal with.

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!!

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

So, Dan, am I correct in thinking that if I were to make you a six-figure offer for your 1910 Wash. Times collection or your WaJo collection, I might be able to acquire one of them?!

Best to you and Pops,
Val

Great article for sure.

Who is this collector who acquired the set from Dan and is now selling off the cards? Is it an open secret that I just haven't been clued in on yet or is the guy unknown to the Net54 board?
