Jim Bailey Inducted Into the FSA Hall of Fame, President’s Award in 2009; Player Award in 2008; ISA HOF in 2011; US NSA HOF IN 2010, Player Award.  

We don’t hear from Jim Bailey lately?  Jim was one of Florida’s Very Best Shufflers.

I thought it appropriate to remind us of JUST SOME of Jim’s accomplishments.

Earl Ball said this in 2007; little did he know that Jim was just beginning!! “BAILEY WINS 3RD IN A ROW! That’s right, Jim Bailey teamed with Jim Miller to defend their Bradenton State Championship and the win gave Bailey his 3rd Championship in a row. The target gets bigger. Grant Boshart and I had planned to stick an arrow in the target, but we stumbled in the semis against Mel Erb and Paul Miller (Grant and I can’t believe it either)!! Jim can’t make it much further, the pressure is too great!”

Jim and Ninfa

In 2007 I wrote this: JIM BAILEY JOINS THE EXCLUSIVE PERFECT RECORD CLUB!!At Midland, ON (2007 ) during the 26th ISA, Jim Bailey won every game he played, thus earning the right to membership in the Perfect Record Club. When congratulated by THE SHUFFLER immediately following his last game, Jim had this to say: “It is absolutely unbelievable; as the tournament went on, I did not think I could do it, I really didn’t.”

I will now give you just a few of Jim’s High Points:  bailey wins world  ;  bailey wins NEPTUNE ;
