Congrats, Ryan, and glad to see you on here again....and hopefully more frequently this time. Thank YOU for opening my eyes up to Cuban stuff back in 2007 with Caramelo Deportivos. It all started with you back then, and I appreciate it!

Congrats Ryan--time marches on, as they say.
I think I first met you at the National the last time it was in Anaheim. I know I had a spirited debate with you and Al C. at the hotel bar during the '07 National over who was better, Mantle or Mays, although I don't remember the particulars (my mind was chemically addled by my friend Johnny Walker, but I'm sure I had the better argument, whatever it was). Looking forward to your next auction and learning more about the card issues and history you favor--please chime in more often.

Todd, I hope it was Johnny Walker Blue. Al loves buying that for anyone that will drink with him.
Here's a story that Ryan won't tell you. In January there was a card show in Anaheim. I set up next to Ryan, but couldn't make it on Sunday. Down the street from me are 2 brothers 13 and 15 that I coached in Pony and live and breathe baseball, and this was their first show. They went on Sunday and met Ryan. Not knowing their connection to me, he talked baseball and cards with them for an hour and hooked them up with a whole bunch of stuff. They are now rabid collectors working on a type set of every player mentioned in The Glory of Their Times. We all lament the lack of kids in the hobby, but Ryan did something to change that. His parents and I will never forget it. Here's to another decade Ryan! Last edited by Griffins; 08-11-2013 at 06:21 PM. |

Congrats Ryan and good luck going forward. Its always great to see someone from the area doing so much for the hobby. Met you long ago at one of the Nationals. Still drooling over that Jose Mendez you had at the time.
