 READ THE INTEREST. BACKGROUND OF 

THIS RARE POSTER

Previously published in Sports Collectors Digest Magazine

nce again this year the three Bill's plus Dave came from Kentucky and set up their hotel room across the street from the National to sell they're wares...They got adjoining suites so they had plenty of room to spread out their arsenal...They always have their one night  party the evening before opening day of the National. The regulars came and a few new faces showed up...and by the end they sold more than I've ever seen them sell...wiped out a good share of what they brought...

President Trump, a well known collector of sports antiques, made a surprise visit half way thru the evening...buying up two leather football helmets...a Princeton and a dog ear...and a Spalding wagon tongue bat...Trump said it would all make great decor in the oval office....plus the bat would serve double duty in case Bernie Sanders starts pounding on his door...Whenever a president comes into an airport everything shuts down until the presidents plane lands...needless to say when word got out Trump shut down O'Hare almost thirty minutes just to go to the three Bill's room party, people weren't happy!...disclosure: fake news...

I got a room right next to theirs so in case I got the urge to buy sports antiques in the middle of the night I could just go next door...Below shots of all the action...
