my first card show

Back when I was a little younger, I attended my first card show in 1971. It was the 2nd Annual Midwest Sports Collectors Convention. We wore pins with our names, etc. There weren't all that many tables by contemporary standards. They didn't circle the room. But everyone was very friendly, and card trading was common. I don't remember what I bought or got in a trade, I think I picked up some Giants and Pirates Play Ball cards. I remember that I was very glad that I went. I remember meeting Frank Nagy and talking to him about his Wagner t206. He told me that someone had just offered him a station wagon for it, but he turned it down.
