[QUOTE=mintacular;804877]Well, I guess my Frank Thomas story isn't over yet...I was sure I wouldn't here back from him since I scribbled my address down on a tiny scrap of paper. But I did, and with lightening-fast speed!
I received a hand-written letter in the mail thanking me for paying $5 he charges for an auto--which he donates to a cancer organization in the area. He also gave me the address of a dealer named David Shore from Oregon (anyone know him?) who could help me fill my '52 set...
Pat - Dave Shore had a card shop in San Diego - "Baseball Cards Plus" - for several years. Sold it about ten years ago and moved to Bend, OR. Once up there he used to regularly run ads in SCD, where he'd sell you cards on approval: i.e., if you don't like it, send it back and don't pay. Quite an archaic concept today. He's a really good guy.
