I've made some great friendships through the trading groups and my business travels have afforded me the opportunity to meet some of these great people in person.
Most get-togethers involve a baseball game, a card show and/or an eating establishment with a ballgame on the tube!
They have all included great conversation about the hobby we all enjoy so much. Plus, when the timing allows, we save postage with a quick handoff of cardboard!
If your travels happen to bring you to the Cleveland area, I'd be more than happy to host a trip to "The (former) Jake", now "Progressive Field", or direct you to the nearest card show or card shop (not too many of those left!).
