I set up a few times on one of the lunch benches at the elementary school in Garden Grove. I was only a pre-teen at the time (so my Dad had to drive me down there-about an hour)and I was mostly dealing with autographs. I was an early fan of Jack Smalling (Ames, Iowa) and his sheets that checklisted players alphabetically by debut year. I've still got my checklist, but the autographs were mostly sold to start another business.
