Dear Beckett,
Recently I attended the 30th National Sports Collectors Convention in Cleveland, Ohio. While I was there, I met Dave and Jim of The Pin Man and Mary and Scott of Crescent Collectibles. They wanted to know if I’d like to go with them behind the TRISTAR booth to meet Billy Sims. Of coarse I said sure, and when I got back there I got Mr. Sims to autograph my football and then he called over six other Heisman Trophy winners to take a group photo. He called over Ron Dayne, Eric Crouch, Chris Weinke, Jason White, Mike Rozier, and Steve Owens. All of them were finished signing memorabilia for collectors who purchased tickets and were back there signing more memorabilia for TRISTAR. This was the second time I attended a National and was by far the best show I’ve ever been too. On top of all that, the night the show opened I met and talked with TRISTAR’s President & CEO Jeff Rosenberg about baseball, cards, and the hobby in general. I can’t wait for Baltimore!

Check out the attached photo. Maybe this would make a good article for BSCM. Thanks.
