Keith Olbermann on 1973 New York card convention
In the first issue of Sports Collector's Digest from October 12, 1973, which I posted the other day, there is a story and numerous photos about a sports collecting convention held in New York City on September 14-16, 1973. This was actually the second card convention to be held in New York at the District 65 Center -- the first had been held a few months before on Memorial Day weekend, 1973. The July 1973 issue of Sports Scoop (issue #6) had two articles about that show -- one by 14-year-old Keith Olbermann, and one by Ron Greenwood. I've scanned them below. The photos are a nice touch -- Olbermann took one of Greenwood standing next to Mike Aronstein, and Greenwood took one of Olbermann, apparently eating a hot dog. There's also a picture of Net54's own Fred McKie, along with Dan Dischley (of The Trader Speaks) and Bruce Yeko (of Wholesale Cards), all three of whom were at Aronstein's 1970 mini-convention that I posted an article about last night.

Apparently so. On the other hand, the 1957 Topps baseball set has increased a little bit from $40.

Agreed. I wish I could have been there for those days as well.

Wow, again!! THANK YOU for posting this. Another article I've never seen and another photo of my father from his card show days I've never seen. Amazing!

Oh wow, right at the end there it's mentioned that my mother "is about as cute as they come." No way that'd make it into an article these days.
