    LMAO! That's me, "padding the post count." Lol what do I get for that? What would be the point??

    I'm sorry that my enthusiasm for collecting and encouragement of other collectors are such a thorn in your side.

    The feeling of acceptance you so woefully desire?

    I know it gets lonely up in those sticks. My guess is they haven't taught you why sheep farmers wear rubber boots.



    I digress, looks like Marichal and Raines both don't sign TTM, just not sure how the prices stack up. I assume neither are very difficult. I dont collect anything signed past about 1960, unless they are real rarities, or for a needs list of another collector.


    I picked up Kooseman at the last show and it was a real pleasure meeting him, but the set up, lines, and promoters are absolutely atrocious. I always give my "free" autograph away, because the line is just ridiculous. You just have to pray your signer isn't in the same line. Not that there are any signs are people in the know to tell your otherwise.

    I could not make it, I hope to go in May.

    I went on Friday, I guess Raines cancelled. Picked up a few 52 topps gray backs, and had SGC holder some cards. Also, broke down and bought a Vg-ex 67 Brooks robinson for TTM. A very tough card to find, decently priced. It didnt help that I picked up a hoard of signed cards before going into the show, that kind of blew my budget before I walked in the door.


    There was some nice merchandise there, plenty of vintage. Just not anything I wanted, or wanted to pay for!

    I went on Saturday, around 3.
    Dealers outnumbered the buyers.
    I also go to a dealer set up near the Nathan's.
    Has 1000s of cards, sorted by years, that he sells for usually a buck or two.
    The show is only 6.5 miles from my house, so I never feel bad when it's a dud (too many times).
