I'm not quite done with my card show adventure. I generally don't like dragging card show posts out over multiple days, but this isn't related to the actual show. This involves the trip on the way to the show. When Angus and I met for the trip, we exchanged pleasantries and a few goodies. His gift for me was much more eclectic than mine. I merely gave him a selection of Mets cards, while Angus gave me cards, oddball items, and the first issue from a magazine that changed everything for collectors. I'll start with the box topper: Angus received this from some Giants fan, who was horrified when he pulled this out of his box of A&G. The thought of being appalled by Corey Seager baffles me to no end -- I really think these people need to see a psychiatrist -- but I was quite happy to have this. I don't recall where Angus got this but he said he spotted it and knew I'd be interested. He was right, mostly because I never saw this item before. ...
Up all hours talking baseball, cardboard & collecting
