I happened to run into Shaggy on the street walking to the Net54 dinner and got him to come to the Net54 dinner. Guys this night was amazing we not only went to the Net dinner but got into a PRIVATE party at Steiner where we met Mike(miconlegacy) and Mark(Cincyredlegs)...At steiner we got pics with Dwight Gooden, Barry Larkin and all the Ball Boys..Nate(1980scollector) did not get to make it but he was in our group all week and pulled some very nice cards at BBCE.

    Kirk ... thanks for posting. It got a little hard to follow who is who in that first pic. Could you give me the names in the following order?

    The 7 guys standing and the 3 guys sitting. THANKS!
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Fantastic pics from the dinner and party. It's so much fun putting a face to several of the screen names that we see so often. It looks like you guys had a great time - and awesome pickups!

    Hey! Did you get permission from those guys to post pics here??? image

    Looks like a great group of guys, and I bet it was a blast!


    2 Questions...


    1- What was for Dinner?
    2- What did you sell to come come home with all those cards and +400??

    Standing l to r...Val, Eric, Kirk, Logan, Jeff, Matt, Bobby, sitting Andy, Shaggy(rob), Dustin

    Checks have a special sentimental meaning..Joe Sewell signed the checks to the City of Tuscaloosa Water Department...I'm going to give them to one of my Board Members at work that is the Mayor of Tuscaloosa. Walt Maddox ...you might remember him from when the Tornado hit Tuscaloosa and he gave a lot of speeches. Also The University of Alabama's baseball field is named after him.

    Sounds like a good time....

    We had an awesome time. That was the best National ever. Nascar360 (Val), Orbitmarz (Jeff) and I shared a room. I found a lot of great NASCAR autographs and other assorted NASCAR memorabilia. The guys from Ball Boys were really cool. It was great hanging out with everyone. I can't wait till next year.
    Thanks guys.

    ROLL TIDE !

    the Granddad kids table was a blast.

    Picked up a 1961 Fleer Basketball set I think I was one of the early buyers. Saw the Grey Flannel guy swarming over the 1958 PBWA Cousy trophy. They also had 5 Dominque All Star rings for sale. Neat table, glad I was part of that. That was on Weds. Were they still selling stuff later in the week.

    My crew got a lot of stuff from these guys Dimaggio and other Goudey Heads 3 mantles and my fleer set.

    Was truly a great experience.

    Best Barry

    Thanks to everyone in the picture and taking the picture. I had a blast meeting you guys and talking cards!

    The VIP thing was pretty cool as well. Special thanks to Matt and Kirk for making me feel like we had been friends for years!
