Going to stop by and see your stuff in the next few weeks. Frequent Red Bank very often.

Josh, Which building are you in? Is it the big one on the corner? or the smaller one will the muddy parking lot?

Good luck with your sales! I used to have an Aunt and Uncle and a couple of cousins from Red Bank.I visited once when I was a kid only remember the trip because it was when Thurman Munson`s plane had crashed.

It is the muddy parking lot
It is even muddier since I got there

These kind of projects can really be fun
It�s about getting back to basics
Yes it�s about the stuff but it�s also about the people you come into contact with
That was lost somewhat when eBay and other factors changed things so dramatically

Judy who runs the place has known my family and myself since the 1970s and remembers me well as a kid (well in many ways I�m still a kid)
She is very cool and runs the place with an iron hand (old cast iron)
She has been buying fine stuff like Tiffany and Icarts for years and socking it away
Boy I would love to get into that house

The first day I set up I recognized an old antique dealer I knew from the NY shows in the 1970s-80s
We had a good chart
He mentioned a Bobby Thomson pin he had and after some prodding (not ez) let me see it
It was in his car because he must have just bought it
No picture but it said �Bobby Thomson Day� with the date (1947)
Never say it
$175
I gave it to my partner Mike Heffner for his pin collection
It came with this neat little card from the kid who attended the game
It was a Police Athletic League NY Giants free pass in cardboard dated that same day
The cardbaioard had deteriorated so much it was in peoiecs but I sat up for an hour or so piecing it back together with archival tape like a jigsaw puzzle

This can be a fun hobby if you love it

Josh- thanks for sharing your story. You are like a kid in a candy shop, still, after all of these years. I hope that in 20 more years I will be the same way. Love the hobby and most people in it. I don't care what anyone says

you are still one of my favorite guys to speak with. A few folks don't care to make friends in the hobby and I truly think they are missing out on a wonderful part of it. take care (hope to see you in Oaks)
