Hi-Lites from the Philly Show....including a new Doyle error card.
I tend to look at the positive side of things, so here are some highlights of this past weekend's Philly Show....that I think
may interest you.. I had a great time Saturday and Sunday with Leon sharing BB card stories, talking baseball, and showing him some of my esoteric stuff (19th Century cards & associated Albums, uncut sheets from the 1940's & 1950's, T206 special sets, etc.). Many interesting conversations with customers regarding my American Beauty pack display (as shown here). I inserted the AB card in it for the effect. The cigarettes are the original ones in it. Thanks to Jon C. for finding this pack for me. I have to tell you of my last two customers on Sunday afternoon, Zack and Ben (brothers, 10 and 8 year olds). First, their response to seeing my AB pack was "AWESOME". Then, as they flipped the plastic pages of my T206 album, they were say- ing the first names of every player. I was really impressed to hear them name all 150 players in my album. They told me they had $100 to spend and what kind of deal would I give them ? I told them to pull out 5 of their favorite T206's. They took Dahlen, Ewing, Kroh, Reulbach, and Rucker. Their Mom told me that Zack and Ben are very computer-savvy and know the names and stats of almost every player in the T206 set. There is hope for this hobby. And last but certainly not least, a new T206 Joe Doyle error card appeared at the show. I had a real close look at it; and, I can confirm that it is authentic. It's part of a recent tobacco card find from the South. To date, this Doyle error card is only the 8th one known. TED Z Last edited by tedzan; 12-08-2009 at 05:52 PM. |
