My Starting Lineup experience with the creator of them Pat McInally

After the episode about Starting Lineup on NFL Films Presents that included myself and some of my collection, I was lucky enough to get in touch with Pat McInally. We have been talking for about a year now. He asked if I would ever be interested in some of his collection, I said sure. He told me what he had and it all snowballed from that. Finally after about 6 months, I am now the proud owner of a 1988 sealed in all team cases baseball set, a 1989 store display, a 1997 sealed convention case of all his figures and yes, he even send me some of his NFL cards signed. A true class act and a pleasure to talk with. He calls and texts me all the time now

Always looking for vintage wax boxes!

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
Thanks! Yeah, I really couldn't accomplish anything higher in the hobby
That's what it's all about. Congrats!
Wow! Great story not to mention that '88 set still sealed in team cases has to be unique to the hobby.
I know Kenner supposedly packed 200 88 baseball sets like this. You could order them from a catalog. I personally have never saw one, until now.
I just read about this player on wikipedia. What an interesting story.
Awesome and cool story! As a fan of SLU, I've always enjoyed your posts about them and your collection.
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Insanely jealous. This is so awesome! CONGRATS!
Cool story, thanks for sharing.
Thanks guys!
