BOOTH
OF HERBERT
THOMAS III, CHRIS GALBREATH, MIKE SANDERS, and MATT HART
|
|
Next
we come to the booth of The great Herbert Thomas the third, and Chris
Galbreath, both from Germantown Tennessee. Also sharing their booth was
Mike Sanders and Matt Hart. I can't quite recall how I met Herbert
and Chris, but it's been a real pleasure. I met Matt there at the
09' National for the first time, but I already knew him a little
from Net54 ( www.Net54Baseball.com
). Very sharp individual, knows American folk art antiques. Their booth was
kind of the fun central hang out place. They sure seem to know a
lot of people. Herbert's eBay handle is one I'll never forget
"garbagecoon"...Only a good'ol boy would have
that name! Chris sells on eBay under two user names. Under his historicimages01
handle he sells mostly vintage sports photos. Under his other
handle edmphotos,
he is liquidating vintage sports photo negatives of the Chicago
Sun Times. Both Chris and Herbert often collaborate on these and
other projects.

 Last
up in Herbert  and Chris' booth was this
c1910 football look-a-like hand muff. I'd seen illustrations of

$150.00 so I went for it, and am glad I did.
