2013 National Sports Collectors Convention Story Posted On SportsAntiques.com
 
http://www.sportsantiques.com/2013natstory1.htm
Please know I have posted on my website SportsAntiques.com, Part 1 of my 2013 National Sports Collectors Convention story. Along with the written coverage and photos of what I saw...the story includes the following three special features...link above

1. The Net54Baseball.com dinner....

2. The Three Bills Room...i.e. the sale and social which Bill Rayburn, Bill Kopperud, and Billy Nix hosted by invitation in their hotel room...

3. And for the finale’....the fabulous collection of sports memorabilia dealer Corey Lieby...

Part 2 is coming and will include all my wanderings after the convention for 8 days of driving from Chicago to New Jersey and Back.

Hope you enjoy part 1 –Carlton

Great write up as usual Carlton. Thank you. I took the liberty of copying this to the main forum on the front page so more folks can see and read it.

Well done my friend!!! This story is always a true service to our great hobby. You are sooo appreciated by so many.

Great read and great photos... Enjoyed it

Well done and thanks for the link, Carlton!

And you're probably trying to forget it even happened, but that was a solid move on your part with the rugby tin, giving it up to your buddy.

Excellent as always Sir! Thanks for taking the time. I attended the National for the first time in several years but was hobbled by a Achilles injury and couldn't make it around as fast/much as I had hoped. By chance, do you recall the name of the dealer (perhaps from Georgia?) that was selling a vintage "Canada" team baseball jersey, that was displayed high up on a torso display at the top of his booth? I would like very much to contact him. Thanks!

Hey Carlton...I always enjoy your National report. For me it is like a bridge that gets me over to next year's show. Thanks for the great coverage.

Nice work, Carlton (as always). I agree that the Show itself was lackluster...

But not so, for the write-up! Brilliant job photographing and describing the most interesting items there. It was great to see Corey Leiby's collection as well :)

Well done, I am waiting for part 2!

CarltonHendricks 01-01-2014 10:02 PM

Thank You
 
Hey thanks for the kind words everyone...I really appreciate it…glad that main part is over…That was the toughest National story I ever did…I never had so many setbacks…Part 2 should be much easier and shorter…

Leon, Thank so much for posting it over on the front page…that was great!

baseball tourist Chris W…send me a photo with the jersey circled and I’ll try to help…or at least a link to the page and directions to find it...

I hardly picked up anything at the show...like three things...Below is an Army megaphone I got from John Kanuit...best thing I got...Mark Macrea drove out from the bay area and graciously brought it back for me...good thing too...those flight attendants probably would have wanted to use it!

Canada jersey?
 
Chris W baseball tourist,
If I am looking at the right picture, I believe the dealers name is Darrell O'Mary from the Atlanta, Georgia area. The last name may be spelled O'Meary. I may be able to get an address or phone number tomorrow.
Is it the very last picture on page seven? If so I'm pretty sure it's Darrell. Sam Majors

Thanks, Carlton, I really enjoyed the show. Makes you want to get on the road and find some of those elusive pieces.
