[SAM JOHNSON]

i paid $1000 for a pair of red crusade's at the 1998 national in Chicago.these are the treasures of my collection.don't ask i won't part with them.i spent a lot of money in those 3 days,think i got all the Juan Gonzalez cards that were there.had the 3 day V.I.P. Al Rosen was nice to get me in even earlier and show me around.it was great! i was even able to finnish my 52 topps set that day.
