An Open Letter to the Forum - Re: Bruce Dorskin (suspended)

Rich- You are right, Wanda Marcus was an excellent show promoter and did a lot of good for Texas and the DFW card market. When I mentioned the "I don't give a shit" look on her face, it was as if she'd seen these fights dozens of times. That's what struck me, in my words as a 13 yr old, as "awesome". The bloody fist fight didn't remotely faze her. That game you mention, I remember it clearly. The Orioles were in town playing the Rangers. My first pro baseball game. Barry Halper was at the show with his briefcase handcuffed to his wrist. Alan Rosen paid me full book value, 50 or 60 bucks, for my Jackie Robinson rookie. I couldn't figure out why a dealer paid me full book value for a card. I figured it out quickly when PSA graded cards hit the market a few years later!
