Card talk around the bar
Posted By: Bob
I've found that the after hours discussions with other collectors at the bar ccan prove not only informative but also very entertaining. If you go to the show in Chicago next year, try to stay at the hotel where most of the 54ers are staying and wander down to the bar at night. You learn a lot more than you would think about cards, from pricing to information about the cards themselves and the hobby in general. For you lurkers out there, don't feel shy about introducing yourselves and joining in. The comeraderie is great and the discussions lively and fun. |

I'm looking forward to going next year given it's just a short drive from Madison. I was jealous of everyone who was able to attend this year (especially the NW54 dinner). |

Plus, you may get a chance to see Bob break up a bar fight! Heck, who knows Bob may have punched out the only WS pitcher to throw a perfect game. Don Larson has nothing on you Bob |

Very cool getting the picture with Don Larsen, but even cooler talking to the guys (Bob, Bryan, Mike, Tim, and all). Let's see I learned that I can handle listening to Bob tell the same Larsen bar fight 9 times in a row with out flinching (LOL.....aaah, he was so pumped!), that I will never be able to spend $960,000 on everything in my life time let alone on cardboard, and that the 5% of the time that I'm not following Bryan around everything cool happens. Sorry, Bryan, but it appears that I will be following you around every second next year! |

Sorry, but it wasn't fight, or anything close. Bob momentarily took the seat of some grouchy guy who wanted his seat and his beer back. Poor Bob only wanted to see the Twins commit 2 errors in the same inning, which I got to see. The guy came back and started barking about Don Larsen's friend who had just told him to go away... |

that if all those Yankee legends walked into a bar, it would be rather incredible because several of them are dead! |

No fisticuffs, just lots of loud, foul language (none by Larsen) and threats of violence between the drunk and the guy he despised, who was Larsen's buddy. Like I said, it could have gotten ugly. Actually a woman came in the bar and the drunk spent the rest of the night trying to pick her up and take her to his room, and this more than anything defused the situation. |

Last summer in Cooperstown, Don Larsen was the quite the attraction....as it was the 50th anniversary of his perfect game. We ran |
