I went to a show in Clearwater

 A couple of weeks ago I headed south to hit up the Friday night (3pm-9pm) card show in Clearwater, FL. I made two deals one being with that young no longer a newbie dealer who has a come a long way from where he used to be and still trying to "scale up" his words. The other was from a former Major League Pitcher. I'll start off with those or some of those.



In a nutshell these Braves were new to me and didn't cost me a thing.



These PC mini's were also at no charge. The Jesse Litsch autograph card was the former player that sets up at shows. He is who I made my 2nd deal with (you'll understand why the throw in freebies tomorrow).  I do have a tidbit of odd trivia regarding Jesse.



Actually 2 tid bits. 1) He just finished building his Bowman and Bowman Chrome rainbow of his rookie card this month. 2) You can see Jesse throws right handed, and his card says throws and bats right handed...... Wait for it..... wait for it....


He writes left handed.  You can tell by the autograph on the Topps RC, but I also watched him sign another one for a fan who was actually visiting the area and was from Canada. That fan didn't know the dealer was Jesse, but certainly knew all about his MLB debut as this card highlights. I had shown him my card, and he just went on and on, so I told him the dealer was him. I offered him my card, Jesse said I'll sign one for him....Needless, that Jays fan went home very happy.
