NOTES:

Any time I get a World League player TTM at this point, it’s thanks to a breakthrough, investigation, or another collector sharing with me their techniques in locating them. For me the most difficult thing to accept as I age is that newer, more efficient strategies exist and that there are others out there seeking the same plate. I am thankful to them that they and you understand what this hobby is really about and we are willing to share with one another.

Glenn Cobb- played for the Barcelona dragons and had this one lonely card. Thanks to his common name and the fact he played at Illinois I had struggled in locating him, when apparently he was right under my nose when I lived in CA some 15 years ago. How time flies my friends.

He dropped me a nice note too.

Hey Lee, I am honored to get to know you. I’m grateful to know you were a fan. You lived in Pasadena- that means that we were neighbors. lol

Yes Lee I was lucky my home was not affected by the fires. I was blessed. Thanks for reaching out.

I miss though the World League days. They were so exciting. I got a chance to travel the world and meet great people like you.

Take care, and be safe.

Great find and thanks to Brent on Instagram for reaching out to me and collaborating.
