Kit Young cards. Buying raw. Experiences?

[Yoda]

Kit used to host a dealers' get-to-together in Hawaii, which was always popular and a lot of fun but now gone in the mist of the "modern hobby".

YES!
fond memories of 1987... the second one i believe.
what a great time.
bought a 1986 hawaii islanders jersey (tho i passed on a #25 barry bonds jersey )
also bought a beautiful single signed babe ruth baseball with a letter of provenance from original owner, from josh evans that he had paid $250 for and flipped to me for twice that price.
wish i still had that ball.

John:

The dealer get-together has actually evolved into what is now called the "Hobby Summit" which is usually held in Vegas but is supposed to be in Hawaii every 5 years and has once been in Dallas.

Kit and his team are amazing.
A great friend of mine and hobby legend "Uncle" Dick DeCourcey got me in touch with Kit when I was writing my book "Buying Back Dad's Cards" (he also got me in touch with Dr. Beckett but thats another story

I was able to talk to Kit and tell him that my Dad bought a 1956 Mantle from his catalogue for $35 in 1986 for my 13th birthday. His reaction was priceless an I still have the card! This post caused me to go back and look and I actually found his catalogue from Fall 1992 right in the middle of the boom. Thanks for the memories!
