The monthly card show this month featured an autograph guest for the first time. It was former Buffalo Sabres forward Ric Seiling, who was a starter during the late 1970s and 1980s. I didn't follow hockey as a kid so I didn't recognize the name (my wife, who did follow hockey back then, knew it). No matter, I was late to arriving to the show and they always set up autograph guests early in the program. He was getting ready to leave as I was walking in the door. Because of the commotion of the first autograph guest and a bunch of jocularity going on, no one saw me come in and nobody was there to take my money -- the second time this has happened at this show. There are signs that the organizers are still figure things out. Even though they've expanded to a larger room and there are more dealers and they are now offering shows at other cities, there is still a haphazard feeling to the proceedings. To be expected, sure, I mean this town hasn't had a regular card show...
Up all hours talking baseball, cardboard & collecting
