Toll roads are ridiculous but the people in the booths are awesome.

I did a search through what I have entered on Zistle and came up empty, I havent gotten to entering my 1960 Fleer so I checked those too but I dont have any.

Dont rush. I went there went my baseball team last year and I wasnt bored for 4 hours. I couldve stayed longer but we had to go. It was truely an awesome experience

[Old Nap]

Take some Nap Lajoie picture for me. :-) I'd love to see anything. I got to go once, but we didn't get there until 30 minutes before they closed so we literally had to run to what we wanted to see. The woman at the ticket booth was very nice and let us in free after hearing our story.

Last update, I'm back now. It was great.

Friday: Drove down, stopped in Rochester (got lost), ate a dinner that was so fried it probably took a couple years off my life.



Saw this awesome theatre:



Got to the hotel late (Syracuse)

Saturday: Struggled to wake up, met friend and drove down to Cooperstown. Adorable town. Really really cute, I loved it.

I took a couple pictures (only with my phone):















For Houdini:





For Nodie:



For Abracadaver:



For Crazy Marlins Fans (WS Ring):



For Everyone:









For W_Raoul2



For Old Nap (sorry, didn't see your message until I was in the last room):



For me:



Went to the card store and the old man was so cute, bought this and he gave me a price break without me even asking:



Had some Dinosaur back in Syracuse:



Then we went to a casino (lost $50 and inhaled far too much second hand smoke).


Drove back this morning. Stopped and had to take a picture of these:



My other friend got super complain-y near the end of the drive though so that kind of put a damper on things.


Looking for a road trip partner!
- Laid back
- Good driver
+ bonus points for liking country music (or classic rock)

I will hold your coffee and provide good conversation!

My friends only let me have 4 minutes in the card shop I wanted to go in, but they had lots.

You must have gone to Yaz's for the Cuyler. The owner's uncle likes to give breaks on cards and he's very personable.

[ilovethelakings]

It's been years since I went there, but I can tell you that I had one heck of a time. Babe RUth's crown was one of my favorite things there.

[Old Nap]

Dood! No worries. Thanks for the pic. I know I was late to the game. :-) It was very nice of you to take pics for everyone. Looks like you had a great time. Those cards displays are sweet!

[JORDANForever]

Yes, if it was the same guy he was adorable. Wish I could have stayed and looked through everything.

[SethMurphy]

the fact that you made the stop for some Dinosaur BBQ is AWESOME, love that stuff


and stopping is Rochester is a bonus, that's my neck of the woods originally, grew up in that area
