Mike and I went to the card show at the TownMall in Westminster on Saturday.  The Signing guest was Al Bumbry which was 1 free per person I was able to get both 8x10's they had as Mike wasn't getting Bumbry again as he has enough of him. SO paid $10 for the 2 pictures and got them signed.  As for the show was bad for what I was looking for bought 0 cards the only items I bought was from the promoter who had signed pictures for $10 each so I bought 4 different with my remaining Venmo balance.  The autographs are of Rosey Grier, Timmy Jernigan, Jorge Mateo & Justin (Nnamdi) Madubuike.
