Jerry Di Poto was a regular autograph customer of mine and Ron Wolf (GM of the Packers) also bought items from me.

Rich Thompson (cup of coffee as a pitcher, in 1980s) once called me on the phone (when I first started in the business, I was selling cards) and asked if I had a 1953 Bowman Mantle. I did have the card and he made an appt. to come over. When he arrives I open my door and the first thing I see is this beautiful woman with him. They came in, we chatted, I found out who he was, he bought the card and she was chatting with us also.

She was Miss New York State and just broke up with Keith Hernandez.

"He was only looking for one thing" was the quote I will always remember coming from her .
