June 2024 Collector's Showcase of America (CSA) Chantilly Card Show Recap

Loads of TTM fuel, in person signers, and a couple of additional autograph pickups.

Great video and fantastic pickups at the CSA show. You got plenty of TTM fuel for sure. The Rick Dempsey autographed ball was my favorite. Big Congrats and thanks for sharing.

Thanks Ed! "Rick" (as he didn't want the Mr. Dempsey) was great to meet.

[@Autographs2000]

I love that Rick Dempsey ball! Awesome pickup for sure! You also racked up some quality ttm fuel too my friend. Thanks for sharing!

We lost a great baseball player and legendary TTM' signer today.....RIP Baby Bull. We will miss you.

[@abescardcollection2875]

Ouch that is tough to hear. He's been a great TTMer the last couple of years. Coincidentally I sent him a request today...

Frank Howard R.I.P a great human being. When he was in good health,he signed tons of autographs in person,when he was a Tampa Bay Devil Rays coach.You are looking at $300-$350.00 to get that 1970 Rbi leaders card signed! Johnny Bench is charging alot to sign to pay for College for his 2 teenage Sons! Thanks for sharing!

@@PaulSmolowitz-ok8ux Frank Howard was a gem. I’ve gotten Bench a couple of times in the last couple of years and think he has been well worth the fee (he’ll have a conversation with folks). I’m hoping he comes to another local signing soon. I’ve got three cards for him to sign now and a Gold Glove baseball! My only issue is he signs with Fanatic reps and they can be rude sometimes.

That Julius Peppers refractor auto is sick! Nice pickups, have a great weekend!

That's a lot of great vintage ttm fodder. Love vintage ttm.

@@raiderprty thank you. I had a lot of fun looking through that dealer’s table.

Great cards. FYI, Jerry Grote passed away a couple months ago. I was lucky enough to get him about 2 weeks prior.

[@abescardcollection2875]

Thanks for the info James. That card will go in my set now!

[@PaulSmolowitz-ok8ux]

Nice signed pickups, especially the Dempsey Ball and at reasonable prices! Jerry Grote passed away several months ago R.I.P Orlando Cepeda, didn't you just get him back? Happy Bobby Bonilla Day July 1 Mike Alstott is a terrific guy.I met him IP and have lots of his autographs! Waiting on those big lines was worth the wait! He I believe TTM'S for charity! Ricardo Rincon of Money ball fame,alot of mis information in that movie.Did Billy Beane really layout the cash from his own pocket to Get Rincon from Cleveland?

[@abescardcollection2875]

@@PaulSmolowitz-ok8ux thanks again Paul! Dempsey was super reasonable with pricing and had a long line! I did just get Cepeda back this week. Sad to hear about his passing. Alstott was a great guy like you said! Last true great full back.
