Like Billy Kingsley, I lost a parent to cancer when I was in my teens, so my heart goes out to everybody in the family.<br /><br />Wow, that TriStar show makes me feel better about my usual show situation. $10 admission, free parking, but I go through 6 or so gallons of gas (and 4 hours of driving time) going there and back.<br /><br />Love the Gump auto. I didn't realize that there were "legend" autographs in that set.The Shlabotnik Reporthttps://shlabotnikreport.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550073840562722051.post-8788991148373991802019-02-15T10:56:47.230-06:002019-02-15T10:56:47.230-06:00Our local card show has reasonable admission and f...Our local card show has reasonable admission and free parking but getting there costs many times the admission. If it was more I’d skip them altogether so can relate to sticker shock.Steve at 1975BaseballCards.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08091628519330650525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550073840562722051.post-54612144842272050172019-02-15T10:36:54.218-06:002019-02-15T10:36:54.218-06:00i like that spook jacobs cardi like that spook jacobs cardkirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08979257548871022140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550073840562722051.post-26422460117786321012019-02-15T07:36:57.883-06:002019-02-15T07:36:57.883-06:00Condolences. As for the PO back in the day... I...Condolences. As for the PO back in the day... I'd have no problem putting 9-11 cards in a PWE and off it went, never a problem until about 2015. So I now only drop 5-9 in one PWE. Anymore I'll use two cut rows of three (but cut from 9 pocket pages), and drop two stamps.Johnnys Trading Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202597965281782849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550073840562722051.post-12850796932351928802019-02-15T06:40:09.933-06:002019-02-15T06:40:09.933-06:00Sorry to hear about your loss.
I've had PWEs,...Sorry to hear about your loss.<br /><br />I've had PWEs, like you described, reach me on a forever stamp. In some other cases the USPS holds them hostage sighting insufficient postage for up to a dollar. I think it depends who's working that day and what kind of mood they are in.

Luckily my buddy would set up at the show, so I'd get in using a vendor badge. And the post office is one of my least favorite places to go to. There's a reason I only send out packages two or three times a year.<br /><br />That being said... I love your Worsley autograph!
