Hall's Nostalgia - end of an era?

[scooter729]

Anyone who grew up in the Boston area or picked up an SCD in the 1980s knew all about Hall's Nostalgia. Their monthly auctions were a staple for me in my teen years in the 1980s, and I was lucky enough to pick up some great items back in those days from their auctions.

Hall's never really kept up with technology without much of a website, and the quality of their auctions dropped over time. I still perused their offerings, though i kept in mind that their "old school" grading methods meant that a raw EX-MT card likely would get a PSA 4 if graded.

They still have maintained monthly auctions, but the nicer memorabilia they used to offer no longer seems to be there. The in-person auctions appear to have been reduced to phone auctions of $5 and $10 items.

So, I'm not sure what the future of Hall's may be, but I certainly enjoyed their operation for many years. Thanks to Walt, Dave and Joel for some good collecting memories over many years.
