Must be those dealers who really think PR-FR cads should be affordable for everyone, regardless of star stature. (You can get Mantle 60s checklists in those $1 boxes, too, if you like things with his face on them.)<br /><br />Cleveland / Chicago are the most consistent National show cities and I'd say Cleveland is the "closer to town" of those two. If you can go next year, I recommend it, as well as see games at Jacobs Field.Matthew Gliddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00058637926401334906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365437537394666236.post-80476324727413002302017-08-08T02:55:55.362-04:002017-08-08T02:55:55.362-04:00Holy cow.

However... after seeing your $1 bin purchases, I'm starting to reconsider my travel plans next year.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365437537394666236.post-50469582196795153472017-08-06T20:16:37.115-04:002017-08-06T20:16:37.115-04:00The Berg is definitely my favorite.
