Ted,
Do you know what type of items are in the auction. I live a hour from Cooperstown and think i may make the drive up for Friday or Saturday. Does it get really packed on a Friday of Induction week.

[tedzan]

Friday usually is not too crowded. Most people arrive on Saturday. But, you never really know,
as it varies from year to year.

The auction on Saturday evening is sort of a spontaneous event where lots are provided by the
dealers during that day. By 7 PM the auction lots are on display for the public.

Drop by....depending on what you collect, I think you'll find it wortwhile.

Can't thank you enough for the suggestion. Will definitely plan to make the show AND the auction.

[tedzan]

I forgot to mention that Tony Kubek is also being inducted into tht HOF as Sports broadcaster.

A great chance every year to get to meet many great BB players......there will be about 50 HOFer's
in Cooperstown. And, many great BB players that are not in the HOF that you can just meet walking
down Main Street in Cooperstown.

And, do drop in to the VFW building for a nice selection of BB cards, or just Talking BaseBall.

John....looking forward to meeting you.


Some additional bit of news regarding Cooperstown......

For those of you who enjoyed checking-out the vast number of vintage "goodies" in the National Pastime store
on Main St., sorry but it no longer exists.....very sad.

Also, unless they have re-stocked since last year, Mickey's Place no longer has a comprehensive selection of
vintage cards.

The BB card shop next to Doubleday Field is also gone....and, the little Sports store next to the former movie
theatre has sold all its vintage cards.

Times are changing....most likely all this vintage material is on Ebay now.
