A nostalgic time before cellphones were ubiquitous and the internet was just budding, when collectors eagerly flocked to ‘card shows’ to pursue their passions. Harvey Brandwein and Stephen Hisler, two former middle school teachers from the South Bronx, rose to prominence as promoters of the nation’s most successful and esteemed sports memorabilia shows. Hosting events graced by players with a combined total of around 30,000 home runs, their shows were a collector’s dream. 30,000 Home Runs is Harvey’s personal account of these extraordinary events. It celebrates the great athletes who participated, signing autographs and connecting with thousands of fans across the country. Harvey played a pivotal role in uniting iconic sports figures and teams, creating unforgettable moments and fostering a deep, enduring love among fans. For the first time, the tales of these players are shared, offering sports enthusiasts a treasure trove of joy and laughter. This book not only chronicles the excitement of the shows and private signings but also delves into the relationships forged with some of the greatest sports legends of the twentieth century.
