Thanks guys for posting the Russ Cochran ads for the Gaines File copies. I was fortunate to buy two file copies HOF 24 (#8) and HOF 26 (#8). Can’t believe it’s been that long!
I still have both books and the certificates.
I wish I had gotten more. Oh the deals and books I passed on!!!
Reading these boards has certainly brought back many memories. I can remember when and where I purchased many of my books and there’s usually a story that goes along with each. And I remember the dealers. All great guys and friends. And the shows - mostly Chattanooga, Atlanta, Knoxville and Nashville but I did venture out to Raleigh, Baltimore and Pittsburgh.
I’ll likely start posting some of the books I have and reminisce about them, so please cut me some slack if I’m long winded! LOL. I’m a true collector at heart! Dealing was just never in my blood. I remember Harry Thomas used to laugh and say “there’s nothing wrong with buying high, selling low, and making a lot of friends”! Well, I’m not sure where all my friends wandered off to but I do still have a few beautiful books!
