Thanks go to Anthony Arbeeny and rookie Joel Friedman for continuing the barrage on my wantlists. My wantlist "year" ends tomorrow when I get home. Thanks for your part in helping to CRUSH it before I redo my lists (which are wayyyy shorter now, except for the additions you will see on the 2014/2015 version). Early thanks to Ken for bird dogging the 66 Mantle and DS-ing it over to me. Thanks to Mike for being a hero on the fun food pins and thanks to Steve for getting me off to a tremendous start on my new sets... 61, 63, 64, 65Ts. Also added 1960 Fleer (half done already) and 1977 Cloth (Both Big thanks to all who attended the swap this evening. Another rousing success! We added a few new names to the National this year, and it's my hope that this becomes part of your regular vacation rotation. Overall, this was our biggest turnout. Everyone learned something new to adjust for the next National. Myself, I put my name on all the envelopes I handed out, and did thanks as soon as I got back to the room. I also learned that no one should ever stay at the Howard Johnson motel. And on the continued learning front, I learned to appreciate even more than I already do what a terrific group this is. The generosity is amazing. The friendships are enduring. The camaraderie is indescribable. I took home more information about things I had no idea about. Spike and Mac are resources for prewar information that everyone should utilize. My appreciation for those sets grew 20 fold just being around them and talking about their cards. Mac and myself discussed Joe Jackson and Pete Rose regarding the hall of fame. I still think Pete served his sentence, and Mac says Joe should now be allowed on the ballot. So, the interesting point for debate... what exactly is a lifetime ban? The lifetime of the ballplayer or the lifetime of baseball? Sam has the coolest man cave EVER! I even got him to autograph "his" 1958 card (complete with OBC 2014 ROY!). I swear that is the best card I received at the National. Beats all the others because I got the auto in person. And thanks for welcoming us into his home. I had a terrific time! Thanks to Guru for bringing OBC into the technology age with the live streams from the BBQ and Swap. As always, thanks to Kent for being my National partner. We did win the St. Al award for navigation a few times, but Ken got an honorable mention for north vs south and east vs west. The second place winner receives a compass! Nick wants to thank everyone for their help in showing him that his 1962 set was NOT complete without the greenies (and a few other variations). Glenn, fill him in on how much fun it was to get the variations and how much more satisfying to know the set was REALLY complete! (You are buying this, aren't you Nick? LOL). The rookies did a fine job. I told you that you may meet someone for the first time in person, but you have known them forever. These are memories that will stay with you a lifetime. And we will make more memories next year in Chicago! Based on the early returns, it appears that I reached just about all of my goals this year. Some, like the 59s, were destroyed! Time to start thinking about my new goals until the next National in Chicago. Still have a few more hours at the show tomorrow morning to see if I can do more damage! ================= Date: Sun, 3 Aug 2014 16:17:32 +0000 (UTC) To: "" , "" Subject: OBC Live Event , close to the National! (Lengthy) From: familytoad@comcast.net the gang in Cleveland!
John Stamper and I staged a mini-National as he visits "God's Country" in the Pacific Northwest.

I was fortunate to have time to meet up with John and his lovely (and patient) girlfriend Karyn yesterday!
After an awesome OBC handshake where I dumped dupes and picked up some fantastic hits to my shrinking WL, we headed to a legendary local baseball card shop.
Geordie is the guy who scouted this place outto me a few years back...and I can't tell if it is cleaner or messier but as Karyn noted- "The Fire Marshal hasn't visited this place recently!"

Two million cards to look through, many of them actually on the floor. There is even a monster 25 cent box with 60's and 70 cards in low grade.
Anyway, we lingered far too long and bought cards that made us smile while Karyn waited outside (no room for all three of us in those overflowing aisles), occasionally posting/texting "Have you seen this girl?" photos to remind John that dinner time was overdue! Very funny and what a good sport!
We then drove 40 miles around , only to end up 3 miles from where we started and had a pleasant dinner together at a local brew pub.
As it always seems to be, meeting an OBCer for the first time is like visiting a lifelongpal!
Great, no....SUPER great visit with my buddy from SoCal who might join me in PACNW someday!

And the  cards, yes there were cards!!
John's handshake produced 6 hits, none bigger than the 1968 Clemente! But the 66 high number, 68 Burlap hits and my cherished 71 Topps FB additions were greatly appreciated too!! Thank you John!!
I knocked another 6 from the list at the shop, and even started my first post-war set in many years (1970 Kellogg's 3D)

Travel safely back home John!
OBC Forever,
Brian

Then I got caught up with OBC HOFer Kent Goto; then Taylor Schock; then Ant; then me t Wes Shepard and Connor for the first time. Next came Mike Rich, Mark Talbot and Sam Taylor in a tired grouping. Seems the BBQ was a HOOT--sorry I missed it, and they all stayed up half the night (but then ittakes about half the night to look through Mike's dup box). Somewhere along the line I ran into Nick P. and the Guru--both first time meetings for me. Seems Nick was trying to determine the difference between green and non-green tint Al Kalines (well not really--that really happened at the swap--and like it or not, Nick has taken the Green Tint dive). I seemed to run into the owner of our home grown grading service multiple times during the course of the day (GGS). Saw Ken Morganti across the room in his mutli-colored felt top hat--sorry I couldn't partake of his Grill Fest. Who else--I run into long time National attendees Mac and Spike (Spoke). Later at the swap, Mac gave me a walking tou r through Pre-War cards by showing me his National pickups. Spike and I both thought about pulling the trigger on a 54 Red Heart Musial at Kurt Tourdot's table. The one in my set came from JSG ty and appears to have spent some time gathering mold in the bottom of the refrigerator vegetable drawer---Spike is taking the card home. For that matter Kurt Tourdot's table seemed to be a meeting place for OBCers--saw Gary Mandell, old Maryland neighbor Brian Betza, and met Joel Freedman for the first time. Somewhere in the middle of the IX Center I met with Bob Reed. I think there were 21 of us at the show. Saw Richard Dingman and met Joe Denning for the first time at the swap. And near closing I ran into Sal Domino at Kurt's table--still don't know where Sal was hiding the rest of the day. What did I end up with? Things slowed down considerably after my initial p urchase. Wasn't able to find any Jellos, either 62 or 63, all day. I did take my 61 Post Company card listing down from nine cards to three (Fox, Roberts and Farrell); I did finish off my 61 Fleer football wallets Buffalo Bills set with an assist to Mike Rich (with two minutes left in the he asked me if I had read his text from the day before). The dealer was waiting for me with the last five cards needed. I picked up a couple 63 Fleer footballers, a short stack of 1971 Milk Duds, and a 64 Topps Standupof Ken Boyer. All in all--my biggest purchases were the two Ford Post Cards--cause I couldn't find any Jellos(but that is a story for the thanks server) . The Swap was as expected--boxes and boxes of cards; some low-cost auctions and give-aways (well really they were no-cost auctions). The HoJo was a bit cramped with 23 or us--and no room to play the early 1960s Tudor Elect ric Tru-Action football game that Sam picked up. I had to run before the food showed up as that 150 mile drive home was looming--so a few quick goodbyes and I hit the road (only to go about three miles and get caught in accident back up and not move for 15 minutes. Back on I-90--driving 75 mph arrived back at the cottage just before 11PM. What a day--I would do it again in a heart-beat. Great catching up with the OBC crowd--old friends and new acquaintances.

The smart and energetic keep track of everything as it's happening. I am usually too tired for that approach...plus if I wait, I forget half and it makes the typing easier. First...thanks to Steve Rittenberg, Mike Rich, and others who secured badges for the group. Seemed like things went pretty smoothly this year in thatregard. The highlight of any national is always meeting up with the guys...hanging out, hearing their stories, dropping cards on them and receiving great cardboard Rookie Sam Taylor did a great job of welcoming everybody into his home...unbelievable place...and had a great time at the cookout. (Thanks to Industry/Cooking expert Ken Morganti...and all the others who helped organize). Thanks to Spike Glidden for putting up with me for a few days at the hotel.We had a less than ideal room...but we made the best of it...and I felt like a king relative to the other terrible cleveland hotels I've stayed at. I'm happy it won't be back there for quite a while. Spike and I had fun discussing cards and life...engaged on a brief but intense research project on the 1909 indianapolis indians. I managed to pick up a post card from that set...kind of looked like Christy Mathewson, but we're thinking it mightbe Jack Hayden (who is also in the t206 set). Quite a back story on Hayden...worth a google if you don't know it. Got to follow OBC old school vets quite a bit...always enjoyable...sharing their stories and knowledge. The swap is always tremendous. Love seeing the guys dig into the boxes...cards flying. It was great to see Mike Rich handing over the last to Posts to complete Peter Mead's 50 year quest. I took a picture of the moment...I'll share that soon. Love seeing the Guru collection of GGS cards...and Spikes cut-outs. Picked up a neat vikings photo with a chris doleman auto from Taylor...and well as various cards mention on the thanks server. The card highlights of the show... OBC'er turned DS Tim Newcomb provided many great cards. I landed a t213 type one of hickman, an e98 (red) Lajoie, two tip top breads and a CJ Mack from him. Quite a haul at great price...now he just needs to sell me that E94 Lajoie for cheap to pay me for all this great advertising ;-) Other pickups included 4 of my new passion...T222's...including two short prints (wow!), a s74 silk of Mathewson, Allen and Ginter Tim Keefe, and a group of nearly 40 m101-2's. Other cards here and there of course, but those were someof the exciting purchases. Great to see both the new and old faces...look forward to seeing everyone again next year! ================= Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2014 23:55:48 -0400 (EDT) To: OBC-Ramblings@yahoogroups.com, rlabs1@yahoo.com Subject: Re: [OBC-Ramblings] my daughter - I am posting this to all 4 groups From: LUURSCJG@aol.com Content-Language: en Congrats proud papa Hopefully in four years i can say about my son who is starting his at NCSU In a message dated 8/4/2014 9:51:53 P.M.

I can't put all my cards away until I stock up on a few supplies. I'm going to pull some non sports cards from their binder and put into cardboard boxes.

The cards feature all the same four players on the front, but the backs might have different puzzle pieces. Well I'm collecting the master set:) Now I need two or three more Babe Ruth cards:) I talked to TJ yesterday and he has a few 1935 Goudey that he issending me. The checklist listed on the OBC page is fantastic and once I figure out what I have and what I need I will post my want list. I also need to update my T205 and T206 lists from "have" lists to "want" lists as I am over half way through each set:) WOW!

I finally tried the gym Monday morning before I left:) Dennys restaurant was next to the Marriott where I stayed and I ate there twice. I haven't eaten at Dennys in years and I found it pretty good! And the young waitresses busting their ass there were really great too! I worked in the restaurant industry in high school and before I enlisted in the USAFnobody works harder. So back to my normal life. Friday the Jaguars have their first pre-season game, I'm a new season ticket holder. Saturday I'm babysitting grandkids andour local baseball card show is that day too.

He has only recently (last 2-3 years?) been "dealing" in OBC type cards as he use to just "dump" them to other dealers, so his OBC inventory may be a little slim at times. But he does have a decent selection of pre-war cards (right Spike?) as well as post-war cards, so he definitely is a good candidate for filling holes.

About an hour later I hit the Ohio border and had completely left the hustle & bustle of work behind looking forward to hanging with friends and digging through cardboard. I arrived in the Cleveland area at about 5:30, metup with Ron Perry and John Dahms at out hotel and waited for the arrival of Ken Morganti, Spike Glidden, Mike Rich, and Bob Donaldson for a trip to Progressive Field and a meeting of the Tribe and the Seattle Mariners. We selected the "all you can eat" seats and I scarfed down (7) dogs, some nachos, a couple popcorn's and some peanuts along with a few large sodas. We cheered on Spike's Mariners to a victory, caught a few Major League plays and Ithoroughly enjoyed the company of my card collecting friends. The weather was great, I only lament that more did not show, though I did find out thatJoel Friedman and Greg and Wade Conway had also made their way to the gamewithout our knowledge. My first day at the National would see me arrive at the XI Center at about 10 am and I slowly walked from one end of the center to the other but somehow did not see a single member so I started looking at the stuff on tables.In about 10 minutes I was plowing through some binders and then I see Sal,Kent, Bob, Nick and Spike I think, handshakes took place, we chewed the fat, made plans to meet up later, etc.... The pattern would repeat itself till I had seen everyone who was in attendance with the exception of Mark Macrae who I learned left for California about Noon before I could get to his table. The big purchases for the day included: (27) Boxing Exhibit cards andanother dozen to pass on to Mike Rich and a (24) card starter on the O'Connell & Son's set from Mike McCann, (7) assorted Playball's from Kurt Tourdot, some Hockey cards with a `82-83 OPC Gretzky set killer and a starter `55Golden Books group from Jerry Nelson. A good start to a promising weekend but I only got down about (7) isles. Following the mad dash through the Center Spike Glidden and I made our way to Sam Taylor's home for the first ever National BBQ. I enjoyed the 1/2 hour drive or so as Matt and I got a rare chance to really catch up and share some time together. The BBQ was everything everyone has already described, great food prepared by Chef Morganti, 20+ friends from all over the easternseaboard and mid-west, all enjoying the hospitality of our host Sam Taylor. Sam's basement is truly an oasis for collector's like us, with museum quality displays featuring TIGERS, LIONS, RED WINGS and MICHIGAN STATE memorabilia, man toys everywhere, and plenty of space for all of us to enjoy each others company and the event. The backyard was a comfortable and inviting environment with the smells of Ken's cooking, plenty of place to sit and relax as well as a built in pool and 5 hole putt-putt golf course. Wes's son Nolan was in his element as his Dad and the rest of us were dining on shrimp, chicken, sausage, burgers, corn on the cob and dogs - feasting like kingswith some of my best friends, it was a great evening. Before we could callit a night Sam's son Luke and I made a roadtrip to Walmart for New York Cheesecake to put a final touch on the evening - I really enjoyed the opportunity to get to know Luke a bit (a chip off the old block) and I think the desert was a hit - I know I enjoyed it. I had planned to spend the night so I sorted through some cards, updated my list, sent out some thanks and somewhere around 4 am finally turned in for the night. The next day would see a little later start at the IX center, about 11 am or so and shortly after arrival I would connect with Peter Mead, Anthony Arbeeny and Gary Mandell thus successfully seeing everyone who had made it to the National. After only getting to about 7 of the 24 isles on Thursday I wanted to do a bit better on Saturday. The highlights included: a ton of Exhibit cards with a few coming from JD Heckathorn and dozen from the dealer right across from him. For the same dealer I picked up another dozen Nu-CardHi-Lites anf I got another (8) stat backs from another dealer. I picked upmy first `62 Ford Postcard w/Steve Boros and a Big old bag of Norm Cash items. From Chandey I got (10) Slim Jim MSA Football boxes and then hung out with Kent and Sal at Ron Estes table and got (88) Aircraft Exhibit cards and the `66 Topps Gaylord Perry. My final purchase of the day would be the `66 Topps Denny McLain from Kurt Tourdot w/assist to Nick Pelletier to complete the `66 Topps set. I think I hit another 10 isles so I was pretty sure Iwould be able to see the rest on the final day. Following the show Sam and I made our way to the HoJo's for the swap. We were among the first to arrive and helped prepare the area as the guys began to arrive. Boxes were everywhere, Guru's Tipton pieces were on display, theguys were sifting through cardboard and passing items to one another, Steve rolled in with a luggage dolly to bring all his stuff in, Freebee auctions were in swing and smiles abound. Spike and I made a quick trip down the road to pick up the pizza, drinks and salad and returned to cheers as there was a room full of hungry collectors ready for some food. Guru had the web TV in full gear and 7 or 8 members who were watching the live feed and Mike, Sam and I were hitting the wall from a few nights of late night festivities yet I just had to pull some more cards for Steve's friend Tom before I left. A major road was closed on the way home and we were forced to detour but it only added 10 minutes or so to our drive and we still arrived before Bob and Brian who were also spending the night at Sam's. We chilled out a bit, shared some of our finds for the day and once again completed a long day somewhere close to 4 am. The Sunday show started about 11:30 am and I think I hit most of the isles that I had missed the days previous and hung out with Ed Hutchinson, Steve Rittenberg, and Joe Denning during various stints and enjoyed the chat thatensued. The final day would see me pick up a ton of non-sport items with over 100 from a dealer friend of Steve's named John where I would get the last Planet of the Apes card I needed and I found another dealer who had the last `63 Flag Midgee card I needed (Greece). Taylor Schock led me to a dealer who had some `64 Topps Stand-ups I needed and from another table I picked up a nice stack of OPC Hockey Booklets. The final aquisition of the National would be from Mike Rich who completed the Quaker Sports Oddities by handing me the Jimmy Smilgoff card. There was a lot of other "odds & ends" picked up over the three days of roaming the isles and as far as I can tell I finished (6) sets: `54 Quaker Sports Oddities `63 Topps Flag Midgees `66 Topps Baseball `69 Topps Football 4 in 1 `76 Planet of the Apes `82-83 OPC Hockey I also started (6) sets: `46-66 Boxing Exhibits `53 - 63 Artvue HOF Postcards `55 Golden Books `62 Topps Civil War News `79 Topps Star Trek Stickers `82 O'Connell & Sons Finally, on the way home I had made arrangements with John and Renee McLaughlin to stop by their home on my trip back to the Detroit area. John had prepared a backyard cookout for us to enjoy and Mike Rich also joined me for the visit. Of course we passes on stories of the weekend and Mike called Lynn Miller so that we could have a quick connection with the Vegas contingency. John's backyard is a very inviting area and Renee's green thumb is everpresent as the area is very well kept with many varieties of birds also enjoying the flowers, feeders and baths provided by the McLaughlins. After a far too short visit and a full belly I once again hit the road for the final hour or so to home completely satisfied from a wonderful weekend with friends that make the National a true experience that I never want to miss. Thanks to all and for those who have yet to attend one or have not been in some time you really should give Chicago 2015 some serious thought. One last shout out to Rookie Sam Taylor whose hospitality was second to none and made the first National BBQ something that will be talked about for some time to If you made it this far then congratulations and I appreciate your ability to stay with my rambling, once I figure it out I'll let you know how many hits and how many sets were hit - BE WELL!!!

This may be a good thing in that I won't type as much, but we'll see... The trip started on Sunday for me, as I loaded up the car with things I had planned to bring weeks in advance - but didn't get around to packing until an hour before I left, as usual. Let's see... clothes - check, cards - check, some non-perishable food, extra table and folding chairs, a small cooler, grill utensils and even a chef's outfit. I think I've got everything, so it's off to my Aunt's house in upstate NY for the night. She's about 5 hours away, so it'll split the trip almost in half. Made it there in about six hours though - traffic and a lot of rain slowed things down a bit. I learned that the storm I passed through produced the first recorded tornado in the next city over from my house the next day. Ate a good breakfast and hit the road at about 11:00 the next day. A little more rain and a couple extra stops more than I normally take (maybe I'm getting too old to make these long drives?) push the arrival time in Cleveland back about a half hour, but I still check into my hotel around 5 or 6. An extra gas stop drains enough money out of my account that I don't have enough to pay the hotel bill in advance. The clerk was kind enough to let me slide until payday on the last $50. Decide to head over to Sam Taylor's place so I arrive soon after he gets home from work around 7:30. I unload the food and take a tour of the man cave and house. As far as collections and displays go, Sam's is fair - as in I'm fairly certain it's one of the nicest I've ever seen. We go over the game plan for the BBQ on Friday and then hit the store to pick up most of the remaining food on my list. My account has $20 in it, but Sam pays for all the food. He's already hosting the BBQ, so plans are forming in my head to pay him back for this already. We get to talking and I learn that Sam is a dentist. I mention a crown that needs to be glued in and Sam sets up an appointment for the following morning. Back to the hotel for a much needed nap. Tuesday I get up early and head over to Sam's office. There I fill out paperwork and we go over another game plan - for my mouth. Sam isn't charging me for the dental work, so I work out a legendary OBC style trade. I give him some cards in exchange for dental work. I notice afterwards that he's just started the Philadelphia football sets, so Sam gets all my dupes for those sets including a Sayers RC. I get a nicer smile at a time when smiles will come easily, so I can't thank him enough for that. Steve calls from the show and says he has a Tuesday badge if I want to hit the show. I decline as my checks isn't going in until tonight, plus I'll have the better part of the next five days to look at cards - plus I doubt that a lot of the dealers aren't even set up yet. I go to Sal's hotel soon after he arrives and we check out the swap room, which we find to our liking for the most part. We hang out in his room for a while looking at photos from Nationals past and shooting the breeze until Kent Goto arrives. He confirms that the room for the swap should be OK and I part ways with them a little while later. I pick up a few items we forgot to buy last night and head back to Sam's to marinate the chicken. After a short visit there, I head back to the hotel to discover that my paycheck PLUS my vacation pay are now in my account (cha-ching!). Pay the balance on the room and head to bed. Big day tomorrow and now I'm ready :-D Wake up around 8-8:30 and text Steve to meet up somewhere and head to the show - he's already inside. Fortunately, I don't have to pay $8 to park, as the parking attendant asked if I was coming in to 'register'. "Yes. Yes I am." Didn't buy a lot on the first day. Not all the dealers were set up early Wednesday and I wanted to get an idea of where the best tables would be before I started spending. Grabbed a couple $8 T205's and pulled the trigger on a 56 Jackie Robinson for my second set, leaving me with just the Berra to finish it off. Also got a 1960 Mantle for $50 in what would become a trend for me this year - picking up cheap Mantles. During the course of the week, I landed his regular cards from 1955B, 1960(twice), 1966, 1967 and 1969 - none of them set me back more than $50. Also found a 1961 MVP for $5 and a 1958 AS for $30. A bunch of us went out to dinner at the Winking Lizard afterwards. Stan Hack picked up the tab. Got back to the hotel after working my way through one of a couple detours around Cleveland that I encountered this week. There was hardly any construction going on during t he 650 mile ride over, but three or four locations once I got to the city itself. Go figure. Thursday morning I meet up with Sal and Kent and we carpool to the show. Despite having spent most of the day at the show Wed., I only got to cover about 5 aisles on the floor - kept getting sidetracked or randomly darting over to one of the OBC friendly guys on the other side of the Convention Center. Spent most of the day going aisle by aisle covering the ones I missed the day before - then going back and covering the five that I did see. Only item that really piqued my interest was a starter lot of 110 or so 1963 Jello cards at Kevin Savage's table. Told him that I wanted to see what else was around, but if it was there at the end of the day, I'd get it. Only five brave souls dared to venture out to the ball park to take in the Indians game. We got the "all you can eat" seats, so I did just that and I'm pretty sure I ate more than $42 in food, especially at ballpark prices. Between going downstairs to reload and playing trivia with Spike, there wasn't a lot of attention paid to the actual game. Looked up once in a while when the crowd made some noise and the home team made it interesting, but eventually fell to the up until tonight "lowest scoring team in the AL" Mariners. Head back to the hotel, this time with Mike Rich and grab some rest after hanging out talking for a couple hours. Friday: Mike and I get breakfast at the restaurant next to the hotel. Sal and Kent come to pick us up and we all head to the show. I decide to get that Jello set, so after fifteen minutes, I've spent all my money. Got a short term loan from Steve, but don't really spend a whole lot after that anyways. Sam and I leave the show early to do some last minute prep work and get everything ready for the BBQ. I thought it went rather well. Since I was too lazy to prepare the more customary OBC handshake, cooking on the grill for everyone was my chance to make up for it. Plus it freed up Sam to host and others to enjoy the whole event better. I can't think of a better gift to everyone. I don't think anyone left hungry or disappointed - or at least they were kind enough not to admit it, so thanks for that. We pretty much nailed the amount of food we needed, as all the food was cooked and there was only one small plate of leftovers. After cooking, I had a nice conversation with Brian Betza about the group and collecting and got to know him a lot better. Left around midnight (otherwise I knew I would've been up until 3 AM - and it turns out that may have been a conservative guess) Saturday: Drove into the show myself. Didn't feel like making a trip to the ATM beforehand and once again, spent what little money I had in the first few minutes after arrival. Don't even remember what I got. Spent most of the day wandering aimlessly and trying to bird dog cards for others. After the show lets out, we all headed to the Hojo's for the swap. It was a great time. I pulled a bunch of Hostess from Kent and Bob Reed's boxes (among others) for those newly started sets. I didn't keep track of who give me what too well after that. I apologize for that. My dupes box was a lot lighter after the swap, so that made me feel good. I picked up a few of the lots for the Renee Hair auction and tried to give everyone in attendance a rundown of how it was all going to work. Hopefully things will take shape over the next two or three days and we can start bidding on all this great stuff this Sunday. Speaking of Sunday... Sunday: Picked up Sal and we drove to the show together: Sal checked out of his hotel and put his bags in my car, so I could take him to the airport later on. We hung around for the most part and I don't recall buying too much, despite the fact that the Sunday of the show is typically the best day to get a great deal. Dropped Sal off and didn't really feel like heading back the Convention Center, so I sat around the hotel and started to compile wantlists for the new sets I had started and sort all the Hostess cards from the night before. Floated the idea of meeting up with everyone still in town for dinner after the show, but it ended up being just Steve and I at Friendly's. Spent a little time with Steve at the hotel room getting a couple last minute additions to the auction before he had to be on the road for home. It had been a long week and I crashed shortly after he left - plus I had to be up early the next morning for my dentist appointment. Monday: Made it to Sam's office just as it opened. Got to sit through the longest dentist appointment in my life. (I didn't have an appointment actually and Sam was taking care of all his REAL patients in between popping i n to see me), When it was all over though, I had a root canal and four needed extractions. I gave Sam a muffled goodbye and set out for my Aunt's again. Can't wait to make the trek out to Chicago next year. Hope to see you all there! Thanks for reading!

Any such candidate needs at least 5 recommendations from OBC'ers in order tobe I always look forward to seeing Mark at shows. He's a very nice guy, alwaystakes time to talk to us, and always gives additional discounts on top of his already-low prices to our group members. I ran into him again on Saturday at a show; I called Wes, who came to the show also & hung out with us. Mark is almost always at the big shows in the area - Dayton, Columbus, Strongsville, Cincinnati, and the Detroit area; he's always at the National - usually set up next to Danny Phillips. I have a picture somewhere if someonecan't place Mark's name but might recognize his face. So, what say you all? M y recommendation is 1. I'm betting Wes will endorseMark also. Anyone else? If we can get at least 5, then we can present Markto the AC as a candidate. (And BTW, Mark knows nothing about this.

Fresh off the experiences at the National there should probably be some other nominations for OBC-friendly dealers as well in order to make our list even more relevant. Sal's convention list would be a good starting point. Also it would help to get photos of those without photos since we may know the face and not the name. We could email the missing photo dealers again and ask for a jpg. Finally an OBCer mentioned last year that Zack Grakal (who has been on our list for years) wouldn't be among the dealers he would recommend, plus I don't think he sets up at shows. I've dealt with Zack, he has a lot of old cards. Not sure if he really gives any discounts.

From: cardclctor@aol.com Sorry it has taken me so long to start the auction... and it'll still be a little while before everything is up and running. I'm going to start a few lots at a time, since my free time is extremely limited. To say that it has been crazy at work is a HUGE understatement. Here's the summary of what's been going on around here. About a week before the National, the workers at one of our main competitors (Market Basket) walked off the job in protest of the ousting of their long time CEO. Arthur T. DeMoulas. He was fired by the board of directors controlled by his cousin Arthur S. DeMoulas as part of a decades long family fued over control of the company. Anyway, operations at their 70+ stores ground to a halt and over the next few days (the weekend before I went to Cleveland) they ran out of produce, seafood, meat and a lot of groceries, since deliveries to the stores were not being accepted until the CEO was reinstated - this forced the customers to shop elsewhere. The business at my store almost doubled. The number of deliveries for me went from three to seven and the number of people helping me throw all this extra product on the shelf went from one to... well, that didn't change. All overtime is now authorized. To let you know how big a deal this is, let me give you a quick supermarket business lesson. The profit margin on groceries is very low and one of the only controllable costs for a store is the labor. As one of the only unionized work forces in the industry, we tend to make more money than a lot of the competition, so to control the costs overtime is VERY limited. To understand the unprecedented nature of this decision, consider that I've worked more (non-Sunday) OT hours in the past two weeks than I have in the last 10 or 15 years... COMBINED. (For the record, all hours worked on Sunday are paid time and a half, but OT during the week is basically unheard of... until now). I haven't had a day off since I returned from Cleveland and most of those shifts are ten to twelve hours. I'm one of the senior (and higher paid) employees in the company. So before when I worked 8-1/4 hours, I might've made the store manager's head explode. Now I can put in fifteen or sixteen and he doesn't bat an eye. The thing is, I have to take advantage of it now because it could all dry up next week. Unfortunately, this has put a huge dent in the amount of time I have for cardboard related activities. (Basically, I get home, grab a couple hours sleep and head back to work.) However, I committed to running the auction, so I'll be running it but not as I originally anticipated. It might last a little longer, but hopefully that will generate more bids. I'll try to keep things updated on my home page as often as I can. Auction rules to follow shortly and the first ten lots thereafter. I think there's around 35 lots so far plus another 5 or 6 headed for eBay. I'll try to get those listed this Sunday... and thank you for shopping at Stop & Shop.

Show was crammed into the top floor with aisles barely wide enough for people to pass in opposite directions. At one point I was sitting in a chair looking through some cards and a wheel chair was trying to get through - everyone had to get up and slide chairs all the way in, and still it was not a gimme. Quite a difference from the National,which never felt crowded as the aisles were wide enough to comfortably drive a van through. Here, it seemed crowded all the time. Once I wanted to get to a corner of the room but gave up and waited until people thinned out. I figured it was just due to it being their biggest show of the year, but maybe Dennis Rodman was the draw - I mean, now that he is our ambassador to Korea, his autos must have skyrocketed. Anyway, I missed seeing one of my favorite dealers who always has 90% off on major stars - I was hoping to score the '54 Aaron, but no luck. Not manybargain boxes either, though there seemed to be more non-sport than usual.Visited CT Lenny's booth - he sends me a box of mc every year - but after3 hours I had managed to spend only maybe $12 on a few 3-for-a-dollar or 4-for-a-dollar I was losing energy and about to bail when I found a last bargain box and snagged a trimmed '33 Goudey I needed for 33 cents. Along with it I picked up a few '56 FB cheap, and they are in decent G-ish shape. I thought they were worth 33 cents each so does anyone need these - 48 g and vg, 64 g/vg, 73 vg-, 74 g/vg, 81 vg-.... LMK with address please. Finally, at the end of my time I discovered Pat at Kevin's booth and pickedup a dozen Horrors of War high and semi-high numbers for about $3.33 apiece. By this time I was tired of fighting my way through the maze/aisles andwas happy enough to call it a success! Saw no other OBCers throughout the day, wonder if anyone else made it.

Today was supposed to be the day I put up the eBay auctions and made a lot of progress adding to this list. Not even close as my body told me it was time to catch up on all the sleep I've lost over the last week. This is going to be a lot more work and take a lot longer than I originally anticipated. I didn't even get to add the ten lots and work is already calling me in. Hopefully this list and the website are up to date at least. LMK if I missed your bids. I still have a lot more stuff to put up, so please be patient. I'm cutting off any more donations at this point. Also, as a clarification, the bidding process is not like eBay, so if you make a $50 bid - that's what the lot will jump to unless you specifically tell me it's a "limit bid" or "up to" $50 - then it will go to $1 more than the current high bid.

Turns out the damage was worse than I initially thought. Lots of work ahead of me and I am heading back to Cleveland on Tuesday for a couple of days. In addition to some pubs,I lost some posters and a few sports glasses. I actually had other non-collectible stuff in the basement and that took the brunt of the damage. Will likely need to call in some experts to test the furnace and see if the 1side of the basement that had drywall, if any of that needs to be ripped out (likely). The biggest headache will be a huge wooden storage unit I have in the basement. It is filled on the top shelves, and that will likely need to be taken apart and pitched. That could be a winter long project. The fact that I had taken the carpeting out of the basement due to a burstwater heater a few years ago, saved this from being even worse. My immediate neighbors had even more damage, but further down the block they were unscathed. It is my close proximity to the sewer drains in front of the house next to me. It could have been worse as I almost bought some cases of RC Cola cans at the National, which would have ended up in the flood zone. I'll be glad when things get back to normal. Mike Rich -----Original Message----- From: mikesportsfan@aol.com [OBC-Ramblings] To: OBC-Ramblings Sent: Sat, Aug 16, 2014 12:53 pm Subject: [OBC-Ramblings] quick catch up Since my e-mails to the servers are getting cut off and not going through, I will try to make this one short. Living in the Detroit area, that had a historic area flood on Monday, I have suffered some damage and some loss ofpublications. The cards are safe. Tomorrow will be spent trying to go through the basement to see what needs to be pitched. Additionally, the drama at work has continued at an unbelievable pace. Including myself there are 14 people in my group. Since July 29, 5 of them have had a death in the family. Add that to planned time off, and we have been extremely shorthanded. Many of the employees are not producing even when they are in, due to the stress of the deaths. This is after a former employee (laid off in December) dies last month and another tripped on a crack in the sidewalk and ended being carted off by EMS and was out a few weekswith a shattered elbow. We also had someone slip on the stairs as they were leaving the another nite and just missed taking out another employee, by grabbing the railing at the last moment and injuring her hand, but avoiding further injury or wiping out the other employee below them on the stairs. Meanwhile, I will be back in Cleveland next Tuesday and Wednesday to meet with senior management about my departments poor performance and plan forthe future, if there is one. When is the next National, as I need a break again? The National is usually the only time I get consecutive days off during the year, although if things keep going like this at work, I will have a lot of time off coming.

From: ChicoD1@aol.com Isn't it crazy how you get into a cycle and can't get out (or don't really want to)? I have been STILL trying to put away my goodies from Cleveland (yes Steve, eventually I will get around to the large bag of cards I pilfered from you at the swap LOL). In the middle, I have been scouring evil-bay in search of the one-sies and two-sies. Of COURSE I come across some cards that I think, "damn I always wanted to do that set". So I was Ebay OCD last nite. Picked up a short stack of 60F for under a buck apiece and just for fun I went after some 64 Giants that were under a buck apiece. Well, needless to say, I won just about all that I bid on, and he has more during the week. So far 1/3 of the set is cleared. I love auctions that end at midnight and later :-). And how cool was the National? We even found a new nickname for our BBQ cook... Iron Chef Kenny Hanna! (I think that has the makings of a new rookie card Tom). It's been said over and over, if you haven't yet, you need to get your ass to a National. And with Chicago coming up, it's one cool city to see! We made friends with new dealers, solidified our standing with recent and veteran ones. The part that amazes me, is how recognized we are. There are hundreds of dealers and many of them know us by hat or (and this is crazy) by name. The amount of knowledge here is amazing. I need a Goudey checklist of all the Brooklyn Dodgers now because I have 3 that have been send over by Spike. Mike McCann was totally amazing to us, even donated stuff to the auction and helped us snuff out a set for Steve. There was one dealer who wanted to be recommended. I forgot his name. He was set up about 3 rows in about the middle of the show. I got a Snider from him. Nice guy and he knows who we are. I think Steve or Mike know him. I have a picture (he's wearing the retired US Army hat. I took pics of some of our dealer friends that may be useful to update on the website. Hopefully, they uploaded to the groups page (in two "albums"). If not, I'll need some guidance. Mac got his annual 70 topps hoops cards from me and a 70 super. Now if things go as usual, I'll have both of them completed for you once you get to my age! Steve, always more than generous. Can't pass him without him saying "I have something for you". And you might pass him 8x in a day! Mike is always a great help with the badges and knowing exactly what a certain card is. Kent is the silent killer. Finds something for me, then your jaw drops at what it is. Sam's autographed 1958 card (Damn he looks good for his age!) is going to be on the shelf along with some of my other autographed cards and my Upper Deck "selfie" collection. All in all, this was one of my favorite Nationals. I took home probably more cards than I have in ages. Did major damage to the 58 Yellows (even at sometimes too high a price). We created another greenie collector (next year it could be YOU). I nailed a lot of 59s. Made headway on new sets 61,63,64,65. Started 60F and 77T Cloth. Sort of started 53, 54 Bowmans. All that means is that someday I'm going to need a few Mantles! Oh yeah, and Kenny Hanna found me a real nice deal on the 66 Mick. Can't stress this enough... the cardboard is what brought us all together starting in 1991. But there are lifetime friends I have with all of you in this group. Always terrific to meet someone in person and actually hand them a card. THAT is what OBC is all about. I think we just use the cardboard as an excuse to get together once a year. And it's great how some dealers pick up on that and have become our extended family (Like Kurt and Jerry, Uncle Dick, JD, Bob McLean and Ron Estes, etc, et al). Never thought that posting for a card from Fuzzball on Prodigy would lead to this! This started out as a post to tell you about my Ebay addition and turned into my final National summary. It's my pleasure to be with such a fine group of collectors, who have taught me things about cardboard I never thought I would ever know. Thanks for all you guys do. Everyone in this group has a hand in making OBC thrive and flourish as it has for the past 23 years. Yous guys are da bestest! ================= Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2014 07:33:48 -0500 To: Ramblings Subject: MiraCard: Social Media App for Sports Collectors From: Steve Rittenberg App has potential.

I was with my father as he was running an errand in the Old North Dayton neighborhood when before we got back into the car, he says "Wonder if anyone is over at the Polish Club?", located across the street. We walked over and dad knocked on the door. It was a Saturday afternoon, and a gentleman answered the door. I remember he said that he was the janitor, but the only other person there was "Bob". Dad introduced himself and the janitor let us in. We walked across the large dance/meeting hall and into a separate room. It was a bar and there was a man behind the bar arranging glasses. My dad and Bob embraced and shook hands and both had big grins on their faces. As it turns out, he and my dad grew up together in the neighborhood and knew each other. I had no idea that dad knew an actual baseball player, and considering that I was in my "prime" in Little League ( I was a 3 star player, no hit, no catch, no run...) I was impressed. I sat on a stool and Bob fixed me an ice cold coke as he and dad reminisced about old times. I remember Bob talking baseball and his career. He turned to me and told of how at that time the Reds had so many Polish players that they should have been called the "Cincinnati Poles", then he rattled off the names of Kluszewski, Perkowski, Jablonski, Baczewski, Borkowski. and one other I can't remember. I do remember that my dad really enjoyed the visit with Bob. I later in my life ran into him again, this time as a grown man, during a wedding reception at the club. I know that after baseball, he ran the bar at the club, and he and his wife ran a catering business. I would like to know how his is doing now. I know he is up there in years, and I wish him and his family well. I will always remember my first meeting with him and how excited I was just to meet him.

Since I work part time for the post office I thought I would make it my mission to see how far I can push this to get the coin back. Just happen yesterday so you would think it would be in Seattle in some lost and found bin right? I'll keep you posted.

Sorry I haven't updated sooner, but I didn't even get home until after 3 this afternoon - and then I had to run right back out and finish my errands. Finished 1/2 hour shy of 90 hours for the week last week... I'm cutting back to a more manageable 80 or so this week Please note: I had to change the high bidders for lots 2 and 51 after the judges had to review the tapes to get time stamps from identical bids. Also added a link to Sean's scans of the 50B Campy (lot 59) Hopefully this is all up to date - the web page should be too - I've listed the last update time at the bottom of the website. Please get back to me ASAP with any discrepancies. Thanks and happy bidding! Ken M LOT #1: Flat donation: No cards, but you can still get that warm and fuzzy feeling from helping out the cause.

From: Doug DeJong I had a goal of finishing two sets before my birthday, which past last Sunday. The first was to be my birthquest year, the 1960 Topps baseball set, but the final card (#544 Bill Monbouguette) has remained elusive, with several last minute snipe attacks foiling my attempts. The second set - 78-79 Topps Hockey - was also down to one card --- the Bossy RC, #115. But while looking at the binder I noticed a second hole --- I am missing the Bernie Parent card #15 too! Ugghhh. That just doubled the number needed to complete that set. I am still mystified how that happens so often. ================= To: =?utf-8?B?T0JDLVJhbWJsaW5nc0B5YWhvb2dyb3Vwcy5jb20+?= Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2014 03:35:47 GMT Subject: Auction omissions From: "cardclctor@aol.com" ================= To: =?utf-8?B?T0JDIFJhbWJsaW5ncw==?= Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2014 20:35:40 GMT Subject: Auction news From: "cardclctor@aol.com" ================= Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2014 19:30:07 -0400 (EDT) To: OBC-ramblings@yahoogroups.com Subject: Renee Hair Auction Update 8/21/14 From: cardclctor@aol.com Hey gang, I'm starting to get the hang of this updating stuff.

The community directlyto my south Warren experienced over 6 inches of rain in an hour that created major flooding just a mile or two away. I had a malfunction with my sumppump and we got water in the basement, of course this is where my collection lives. Fortunately only dupes and some UV cards were effected and my "singles" collection remains intact (except a 3200 count box with the last 4 years of Heritage cards that are now drying out in the garage). We also got water on our third level (we live in a quad) and the carpets and some furniture on this level got soaked - to say the least I have spent many hours over the past week and a half drying out the place. There is still a slight "moof" smell around here and so "She who must be Obeyed" is likely to decidethat some carpet may soon have to be replaced. Since this has taken place a number of fellow traders have send me items that have piled up on my desk and I just have not had enough time or energy to address them. I think I will be able to get to these tomorrow so I can properly thanks these fine fellas for their generosity. Thanks for your patience - BE WELL!!! REGARDS --------------------------- MARK ================= Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2014 13:57:39 -0400 To: OBC-Ramblings@yahoogroups.com Subject: New Member, and Im glad to be here From: Ed Hutchinson Good afternoon OBC, my name is Ed Hutchinson. I was just approved as the newest member of OBC, and I am thrilled to be here! I am a teacher by trade, and my love of collecting started when I was 7 years old, with the 1987 Topps baseball set (that wood grained one with McGwire and Bonds RCs!) When I got back into collecting, I aimed at the shiny new stuff like a lot of people- well, that got old fast, and I ended up starting to build a 1959 Topps set because I was bored with autographs, jersey cards, and 9 million sets a year. I never finished the 59 set, but I have restarted it. I am also building many sets from all 4 major sports, and non sports. I love odd ball items, possibly even more than the base sets, because they are harder to find. For me, the fun is in the hunt, and in the joy of helping others with their collections! I have checked many of your want lists already, and have several envelopes already in the mail. I was lucky enough to meet many OBC'ers at the National in Cleveland, and the swap evening was my favorite hobby related event ever. I look forward to meeting more of you, either in person or here online. Thanks for providing a place where trading is optional, but camaraderie and the love of the hobby is mandatory! ================= Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2014 16:06:12 -0400 (EDT) To: OBC-ramblings@yahoogroups.com Subject: Renee Hair Auction 8/23 Update - bidding ends tomorrow!

During one presentation she gave, she so impressed the national Emmy Awards chairman that he invited her to attend the national prime-time Emmy awards show Monday night in LA!

From: cardclctor@aol.com Hi gang, Rough estimates now have us over $1650. All lots now have at least a starting bid. Lot #1 will remain open for the rest of the month, so if you get shut out on cards, you can still donate to the cause. I'll try to put out one more update before I head into work tonight (8:30). Thanks to everyone who has bid and for being patient with me and my overcomplicated (for me) auction procedures. The website (http://kenmorganti.weebly.com/auction.html) should be in sync with this e-mail. Happy bidding! Ken M LOT #1: Flat donation: No cards, but you can still get that warm and fuzzy feeling from helping out the cause. Bid any amount and your name goes here (amount omitted).

Everyone who was there (including OBC spouseLaShelle Denning) is on there, with one exception; I don't have a photo ofJohn Dahms. John, if you're out there, send me a pic with you wearing yourOBC hat & I'll fit you in! That card, will of course, be the variation. So far I've made '62 versions - plus greenies - of Kenny Hanna, Nick, and Joel, plus the team card. If I can get a copy of the group picture from Sam's basement, that will be the '62 version of the 2014 OBC Team Card. Props to Sal for suggesting the floating head/Cubs team card tribute. I did have to cheat a little & use some older photos.

The ones like Gehrig, Ruth, Foxx,  and maybeGrove and Dean will cost a lot, while others could go for 50 or even less in f/g.
Commons should not approach 25 each in that grade.

So, inmy opinion, an average cost  of $25 might be high unless you get someHOFers like Speaker, Hornsby  , Ott and not Herman, Cronin, Sewell ;)
It's a great set, certainly not easy to acquire so many at once...so it's not a terrible deal at all to be able to have such a jump start.
Bestof luck no matter what you decide ...I have thought about that set numerous times and ended up only getting and keeping the Hall of Famers.

From: "Matt Yudt" Or what? http://www.ebay.com/sch/biotechpest/m.html?_nkw So I was rapidly searching for a particular card the other night and saw an auction ending today for one I am looking for - put a bid in without being careful (MY mistake) that despite the card pictures, it is a 'REPRINT'. None of the photos shown indicate it is a new card that was re-printed (my definition of a 're-print') and either the cards are forgeries of pricey vintage cards OR the seller is showing photos of the real cards but selling re-prints. He was kind enough to cancel my bid, but didn't answer the question whether the card shown was the one being auctioned. Of course he is clearly labeling them, so it shouldn't be an issue, but I find this deceptive nonetheless.. ================= To: Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2014 20:16:02 -0400 Subject: Coolest Topps cards 1951-2014 From: "Supreme Commander" For you new guys, I put this together several years ago... maybe 10+ by now, I add to it every year.

AdoptAClassroom.org takes $0 out for administration. No bureaucracy and no red tape. Just immediate impact. It is also completely transparent and you can see exactly whatI spend the money on this year. In addition, it is completely tax deductible as well. If you can, please adopt a classroom this year. It does not even have to bemine (although, my students and I would appreciate it if you do). Last year, with some of your help, I was able to finally buy a new printer and ink for my classroom. My classroom was using an 18 year old HP deskjet where the ink was costing over $100 to replace twice a year. Now, my new Canon printer is faster, can do more (scan, copy), and the ink costs less than $35! And every contributor could see exactly how much I spent and where that money went. In years past, I have spent money on much needed art supplies, paper, rulers, books, etc. Here`s a description of our specific needs for this year: This year, our district has implemented the Common Core standards fully andhas invested a great deal of time and money into making that tie into our current technology. Unfortunately, we are a small district and have been greatly impacted by budget cuts. My supply budget has been cut again and I have spent a great deal of my own money and all my supply budget on paper, pencils, and the essentials. As a result, I have little to spend on Common Core materials. The only good news is that there is a great deal of material that is free or nearly free on the internet and is designed as apps or plug-ins that can be used with tablets and smart boards. Although we have smartboard technology in our school, I was hoping to be able to use my own tablet to interface with my computer and smart board to bring some of those teaching tools to my classroom. At this time, I cannot (my tablet is too old).So, my goal this year is to earn enough money for a new tablet in class (and hopefully have some left over for art supplies which our district does not provide anymore). Any little bit will help though (really, anything!)...thanks so much for reading and feel free to forward this to anybody who you think might help.

I really appreciated your comments. After a lot of thought and some regret, I=92ve decided not to purchase the lot or start the 1933 Goudey set. As most of you know, I only collect American cards sporadically and focus most of my attention and money on Japanese cards. I recent auction had the 1933 Goudey Ruths in PSA 8 going for over 50k - never possible for me - but a PSA 10 Sadaharu Oh at only $300. Rather than start an American set that will take 5-6k to finish in G/VG(I=92m not really into Tipton Cards), I=92ve decided to put my money into more japanese cards, which I feel are truly undervalued. 5k buys a lot of really nice Japanese cards. Plus, with Japanese cards you have the thrill of the chase as most cards are not available at any given moment. This last point is probably why I like collecting Japanese best. It takes years ofsearching for me to finish off some of my Japanese sets, where I can finish a 33 Goudey set tomorrow=97it=92s only a matter of having the money. Anyway, here=92s a link to the lot I was considering on eBay. It was alsoadvertised on the back cover of this week=92s SCD so that you can call andwork out a deal (I got a little discount). I think that it is a great deal. The ruth is a nice Fair - worth about $1000. that makes the other 76 cards about $15 each with 18 other HOFers. Some (about 15)- like Speaker- have ink writing on the backs but at $15 each that=92s okay. So somebody please buy it so I don=92t change my mind!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-77-Different-1933-Goudey-Baseball-Cards-including-19-HOFers-w-Ruth/111329885428?_trksidp2046732.c100040.m2060&_trkpa= On Aug 26, 2014, at 2:25 PM, wwesmyster2@aol.com wrote: > I figure its good.

Dont forget 9 of those 69 are HOFers, be it Harry Nobody or whoever, HOF carries a premium in the Goudeys. If you dont want to pay HOF premiums for Goudeys, dont hold your breath when trying to finish the set. Just sayin'. > Rob, I say its a good deal, with the Ruth in there. Either Ruth, no matter.

From: ChicoD1@aol.com I still have a small box to get organized and put away. As you may know, my "Year" collecting goals start at the end of the National. To me, it's the logical OBC year. This was the year of the "new" sets. A few have been posted on my want list (60F, etc). Some I still have to organize (61-65T +). I have started thinking about this years goals, and always on the list is to send out a bunch of cards. I'm getting a jump on that one as 39 packages have been sent out today. (Kent I swear I don't know how you did 100+ in one shot lol). I started backwards on the OBC directory. There are still some I have missed from Z-M, as some lists are woefully out of date, or a lack of something in my National dupes box. I'll continue to work on that part of my goals. Hopefully, by the end I will have hit everyone. So far so good. Now all I have to do is put away 1961s, the bunch of Mets oddballs I accumulated and square things off with Steve R on the nice box of cards that got me going on the new sets.

I've looked at it for years. I found a guy on Ebay (yegman28) who had a few reasonably priced. Well before you know it, I was on a feeding frenzy, nailing over 2/3 of the well under a buck a card (average). Every time I thought I was done, I saw other cards. I kept him hanging for almost two weeks while I bid. Now yeah, I get it, he is getting his money, but its SO rare to find someone who is willing to hang on while you run through his auctions. I know there are a few collectors of this set. I'll be having a nice stack of dupes. His shipping seems high, but he was very fair when it came to cashing out and combining It's nice to deal with someone like this. Even some of our "preferred" Ebay dealers don't extend this kind of courtesy.
