legend Time to mind your card show manners Tilley was with the NCHSAA for 10 years before moving to the VHSL He is a graduate of the University of North Carolina FORFEIT: Cary boys basketball team had to forfeit 16 games this year and return its playoff revenue and trophies but that situation wasn't nearly as acrimonious as what occurred in1951 when Henderson appealed Sanford's use of an ineligible player after a 13-0 loss in the Eastern Regional finals at NC State's Riddick Stadium The Henderson coach had coached at Sanford and knew one of the Sanford players wasn't living with his mother The boy's father had been killed in World War II and he moved in with relatives who didn't adopt him Hap Perry the NCHSAA executive director investigated and ruled in Henderson's favor and allowed it to advance "It was horrible" said Jerry Miller a Sanford player at the time and now a well-known artist "That was more than 40 years ago and whenever we get together we still talk about it" NATIONAL MEETING: Herb Appenzeller the former athletics director of Guilford College will be among the featured speakers this summer at the National Federation of Interscholastic Coaches Association Appenzeller was a major factor in Guilford's reputation as the cradle of coaches in the state Guilford has produced many of the top prep football coaches in the state including former Northern Durham coach Kenny Browning and Millbrook coach Earl Smith Appenzetter is expected to speak on risk management issues KA GOLF: The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is sponsoring a coaches golf tournament on May 7 at the Wake Forest Country Club The team of Mike Brannan Larry Junkin Gary shows have tax numbers and must pay taxes on what they sell Most dealers usually sell items without charging tax but some still need to get with the picture Go ahead and price your goods including tax It's simpler 111 4 Dealers: practice good PR As a collector nothing turns me off more than seeing a couple of dealers sitting in their chairs sorting cards and not acknowledging your presence Don't let a person pass your table without a smile and a greeting even if it is busy If I walk by and you don't greet me I'll moving right along Also if a young collector comes by and asks about trading take the time to at least look at his stuff Even if you have no interest in trading it's not going to kill you to take a few minutes to look through an album or a small box of cards 5 Collectors: if a card looks altered in any way pass on it A few years ago a friend of mine bought an altered 1979 Pete Rose Topps card As soon as I saw it I knew it had been trimmed along the sides Unfortunately he forgot which dealer he bought it from Some dealers will try to pull a fast one so be alert 6 Collectors: ask before touching I have heard several stories of dealers having items stolen from their tables Most of these dealers do card shows full-time so selling cards is their occupation Stealing is a crime Taking money from someone's pockets is wrong Card shows are a great place to spend a day Make a point to attend when one comes to your town INVESTMENT TIP: Jeff Kent New York Mets Is this guy going crazy with the bat or what? As of Friday he was batting 406 with 8 home runs and 23 RBI He was a highly touted prospect when he was with the Blue Jays and the Mets weren't that hesitant when making the trade of David Cone for Kent and Ryan Thompson Now he's starting to show the league his talent If he improves his defense he could become another Ryne Sandberg: His rookie cards are from 1992 Best bets are Leaf and Powers and Doug Murray is the defending champion Contact Vic England at (919) 787-7211 TV SPORTS: Clayton's WYED which showed delayed telecasts of the Cary boys basketball state semifinals and finals plans

experience for us I though the production quality was very good We were very pleased with the entire effort" AAU BASKETBALL: Some of the state's top basketball seniors including Georgetown recruit
