I actually badly need a knee replacement. Not the most tragic thing in the world but comes with age 60 closing in on me I guess.

Very little negro league stuff. Would have thought there would be one vendor specifically devoted to it but no. A few random things here and there. One off photo here and there. Didn't see any Cuban cards or anything like that. I'm not sure anyone with good Negro League stuff is particularly interested in selling.

By all means don't put off the knee replacement. I had both done in 2012 at age 63. It made a great difference in my mobility and gave me unlimited endurance. I slipped in 2017 and tore the right one up, and it was much easier than when I got both of them done at the same time. This process has extended my ability to function as a dealer by 10 years. Age is now catching up and the knees are still solid, but there are concessions everyone makes with old age.
