Was back doing a show this weekend at a show where I consider my home base, the NC Fairgrounds in Raleigh, NC. It was busy and tremendous as usual as many of my regulars attended. We had a great time was next to local dealer Scott Conners and of course my usual wingman Taylor Schock. The other gentleman in the picture with the glasses and briefcase is Rick Savage, which I took at Strongsville. Rick is a HOFer of the TCSCC (Twin Cities Sports Collectors Club) of which I am also a lifetime member. Rick’s picture’s inclusion is appropriate as he has been a reknown expert for years on Armour Coins and he advised me on purchasing the base set of Armours pictured. I am thankful for his learned advice to me. Was my good fortune to reconnect with him in Ohio. The Coins are available for purchase soon as I am done processing.

Just finally getting around to posting about the Strongsville show in its new home in Independence, Ohio. As usual was a tremendous show and as guaranteed us vintage sportscard dealers were separated from the TCG quadrant of the show. I was extremely blessed by the presence by my 16-year old son Judah, who did the majority of the loading and unloading. The boy is built like a brick wall. He also did 95% of the driving there and back. It was a nice surprise that our badges had the classic yellow ‘33 Goudey Ruth card picture. You’ll notice the card I was holding with baby Judah a decade and a half ago. Just a wonderful coincidence! Thought I’d show the wonderful pizza we had there, the sausage pieces were huge! Saw the OBC posse boys there and greatly appreciate the support they have given me over the past couple of decades or so. Can hardly wait until next year’s show, it will be my next son in line’s turn to accompany me next year. Thank you to all the customers who made the show a success.

I thought I’d share this card collecting memory and pack cracking experience. Cleaning out my office found an unopened 1989 Fleer Rack Pack. I cringe when I see these videos when people open old packs. This is not the case here, you can bid on a ‘89 Fleer Rack Pack for .99 on eBay. I digress . . .
My memory of 1989 Fleer is the Griffey RC, which at the time was the most sought after Griffey RC of the Big 3 at the time, Upper Deck was new and just starting to make a name in the hobby. However, the big news that spring was the ‘89 Bill Ripken “FF” error. I’m sure everyone who currently reads this except my wife will understand FF. My long-time friend and future business partner and card show compadre forever, Jerry Nelson found out the 7-11 stores in the Twin Cities area were carrying the boxes, so we drove around late one night, buying what we could find, some misses, but think we split at least 8-10 boxes between us. We must have gotten about 5 boxes each plus a similar amount of the error and Griffeys. Great memories, this predated us setting up at shows. I believe Shinders, IYKYK, was buying the Ripken for $25 at the time. So decided no reason not to break the pack. Was hoping to get at least one card good enough to throw in my $1 bargain tub. And got exactly one, For the Record Wade Boggs, IRC these inserts were exclusive to the Rack Packs. It was fun to turn back the clock for a minute of nostalgia. I’m sure my friend Dustin Williams - Old Man Cards enjoyed this post.

Was good to get back doing a show last week at American Legion House 10 in Wilmington after losing 3 shows combined in the previous 2 weekends due to that weather that bedeviled most of country. Having done shows here in NC for 10 years and Minnesota and the Upper Midwest for 25 years before that. I can only remember ever losing one show due to weather and IIRC that was in Grand Forks, ND. Terrific crowd, started heating up (no pun intended) around Noon. That’s OBC member Andrew Blackburn having a successful tub dig, pillaged the $1 bin of vintage 50’s baseball (and being a Hunter fan) a Fred Dryer RC.

Will be back in Wilmington at the Elks Club on March 28.
