I've heard that many sellers are using a new strategy that involves NOT TELLING paying customers what they have, or if it's for sale, and, if they do sell something requiring buyers to sign confidentiality agreements. Some sort of back-door marketing. Of course, this information is very difficult to verify. Only ultra-high collectors, of penultimate items are supposed to be aware of this policy. Apparently, if the dealers reduce their sales low enough, this becomes some kind of a high end tax dodge. This is a strategy only taught at the finest Ivy League institutions, and even then, only to those with tenure, who graduate Magna Cum Laude. This is not to be tried by sorted, red neck, community college alumni! Sincerely, Archive

It was a good time and really enjoyed meeting some guys I have talked to and emailed with over the last couple of years. I picked up a few cards some good deals and some not so great deals, but got some cards I had been looking for.
I thought this one was pretty cool.

My trip to the National
I arrived at the National on Wednesday and stayed until Saturday afternoon. I left town with 1000 in my pocket and came home with 1900 and the items below(the basketball boxes are empty). While in Baltimore I was able to go on a tour of Camden yard. My goal of going to the National was to get Jim Browns autograph(nice guy shook my hand and looked up). I was able to upgrade my Namath rookie from a 4 to a 5. It was nice to get to meet other board members(Mike, Matt, Bill, Neil, Bill). Thanks Mike for tkts to the PSA luncheon. The National was nice but my plane trip back was the icing on the cake. I got to sit beside Bart Starr. We talked the whole flight from football to baseball(he is a huge Stan Musial fan..even had the SI with the article on Musial) to local Alabama politics. I did get some cards graded by ISA due to the fact it was only $5 per card and a 1hr turn around. Their grades seemed to be fair. Also got to meet Carol. She was very nice and helpful.

Jim VB - Bathroom Humor
Jim VB
Your attempt at humor is nearly as disappointing as the fact that your very existence in the hobby continues. Whilst we spoke to many long-time collectors and dealers, professionals who enabled us to build a world class collection, and chatted with fellow collectors, several of whom hold multiple IVY degrees, the highlight of our two day visit to the National was the support we received from more than a dozen dealers and collectors who follow, but never comment, on our Net 54 postings. They mentioned you and one other of our "fans" as two blow hearts with too much time on their hands, and very little knowledge about the history of the hobby. Our only regret was that we did not have your picture with us, so we could have made toilet seat covers for the convention's bathrooms.

Picked up a couple T206 Lajoies with common backs, but nothing too exciting on that front. I bought the Matty below to go with the Ruth, Gehrig and Cobb in my collection. The big names from that set are extremely affordable.
The blank back E92 of Lajoie wasn't a Baltimore pickup but rather the result of a chance I took on eBay a few months ago. After looking at it in person and concluding it's legit, I decided to get SGC's opinion and have it slabbed at the National. Nice to have a gamble pay off. (If the sellers of the cards below do not wish the scans to be posted, please contact me -- in strict confidence -- and I will remove them.)

Gorgeous cards everyone. I know a lot of people don't like to share how much they pay for their pick ups but I wish they would. Being still new to vintage I'm always trying to gauge how much I should be paying and what a good deal is.
