Although I am much more into cards than memorabilia, I do have an affection for WaJo notebooks. And, I treasure this photo of WaJo batting that you insisted I accept for connecting you with a buyer of a few of your signed WaJo checks.
Despite having the world's worst memory, I'll never forget how you managed to get this scarce PM6 pin of WaJo into my collection. At the 2016 National at Atlantic City, you and I happen to run into one another shortly after you had sold this pin to a dealer. As we chatted, you mentioned this, and I said that I wished you and I had connected before you sold this pin. You then had me accompany you to this dealer's table, whereupon you told the dealer that your friend would like to have this pin, so please sell it to him for a small markup over what he had just paid for it. The surprised dealer appeared displeased with this turn of events, but he acquiesced.
