This show used to be the very best show outside of the National. But, it has gone downhill over the years. I don't know if it's because it moved from Ft. Washington temporarily to Reading and now permanently to Valley Forge or because they changed promoters. In any case, it definitely doesn't have the vintage material it used to have during the Ft. Washington years. Plus, the new promoters are bring in more autograph guests, so it seems to looking more like an autograph show. It will be interesting how this March show turns out.

My favorite show. Have attended the past 10 shows. Will be there Saturday & Sunday looking to pick up cards to resell.

I have a few favorite tables that I always spend most of my money. Would love to add a few more favorites.

Looking forward to this weekend!!!

I'll be set up with my friend Ron Barrett at booth #615. I'll have a decent array of pre-war cards while Ron has some pre-war and a large stock of 50's, 60's, and 70's.

Hope old friends and some new acquaintances will stop by.

SGC will be grading on-site, offering Quick Grade Reviews, and accepting submissions for grading back at our office. We should be in the same spot as usual, in the main room to the right against the wall. This is always a great show to meet up with Net54'ers and other customers, so we're really looking forward to it!

Hope to see many of you this weekend.

On-site grading will start at $35 for standard sized cards and $50 for oversized cards. The maximum charge would be $200 for items that are valued above $7500.

Quick grade reviews, where the graders assign a grade and you can decide to proceed with encapsulation or not, are $20 per card and then the balance due for the appropriate tier upon encapsulation. This service is only for cards valued less than $5000.
