It was fun to hold stuff, even though I couldn't afford to keep most of them.

--- Signed Joe D., Mickey, Ted.... and so forth.

I got to meet Yogi at one show. He was signing at a booth, 10 feet from my booth.

A set of three cards, Tinker, Evers, Chance....

The only one I have from those days, is a litho, signed by Nolan Ryan and Tom Seaver.

It stopped being fun, watching 10 year old kids, running from booth to booth, chasing some card that was gonna be worth a hundred or so in a month or so.
