As others have stated, thank you to Andrew and Ryan for putting together such and enjoyable event. After having missed out on last years meetup, I was glad to be able to make it this time around.

It was great catching up with old hobby friends such as Mike Peich whom I haven't seen for years as well as put some faces to other Net54 folks that I've previously only known by their user ids.

Steve, thanks a bunch for letting me borrow some space in one of your cases so that I could display a few of my cards. Will have to get my own case or two next year and bring a little more of my collection down for display.

Andrew and Ryan for organizing and hosting this event! So much fun to see old friends, meet new ones and gawk at some absolutely astounding baseball card history!

To echo everyone, thanks Ryan and Andrew for organizing. This event is a ton of fun and really highlights the best of the hobby�great people, unreal cards, and folks just having a good time.

Ryan and Andrew--You did a fabulous job organizing this get-together and giving everyone the opportunity to see amazing and rare cards. It was eye-candy at the highest possible level! Andrew's video is outstanding as is the cause for which he advocated.

Your hospitality was immeasurable. When was the last card "show" anyone attended where there was food, and where the organizer came to every table and personally thanked everyone for attending? Not in my memory.

It was great to reconnect with really old friends like Scott Mosley and Ken Cohen, and to spend time with passionate collectors, and budding ephemera collectors (John--if you're reading this, send me your contact info.), as well put faces to names: Andy Cook, Jim Creamer, Howard Chasser to name just a few.

I have attended baseball meet-ups that have been great fun, but this was the single most enjoyable baseball card get-together where we could all view and enjoy one another's collections in a relaxed, congenial atmosphere. A rare opportunity.

To paraphrase Harry Kalas' assessment of Chase Utley: Ryan and Andrew, you are the Men!

Cheers,
Mike

Cannot thank Ryan & Andrew enough for hosting this event. Had a blast! What a pleasure seeing all of the great cards/collectibles, and simply stated, you cannot go wrong putting a group of truly passionate collectors in a room.

Saw the video that Nuff posted of this event. Incredible cards. Wish we had something like this in southern CA. Most of the shows I've been to here are predominantly shiny ultramodern cards

Ryan and Andrew,

I too much appreciate your efforts to hold this fun event. I think that Mike said it all and expressed my thoughts better than I could. Such an event, along with the stunning array of cards, affords the opportunity to see old hobby friends.

And yes, Mike, it was great reconnecting after such a long time as well as the pleasure of seeing Hank T. and two old friends from the North, Joe T. and Tony F.

Looking forward to next year for another meetup with old friends, and another massive overdose of vintage eye candy.

Best regards to all,

Ken
