"Long Island National" Hostra Show this weekend

[yanksfan09]

Anyone going?

This is the first time I remember them having a big show on Long Island in December. They just had a big one this past October. ususally I thought the big winter one was in White Plains. Maybe they're changing their schedule now for the big Hofstra shows?

I guess Mike Tyson, Hollyfield,Lamotta and Joe Montana, Frank Robinson, Barry Larkin and other will be there.
I don't usually get autographs at the show but it's a pretty good grouping there.

I'm planning on going tomorrow, hoping for a decent show...

Every time I go to one of the LI shows there is a box at the gate to make suggestions for future signers. Every time I write Mike Tyson. Finally, they get Tyson and of course I have to be out of the state this weekend. Ahhhhhh!!!!! I blame this on the Grinch.

I usually attend the October show if I am looking to fill in a pesky gap in the collection. Otherwise I go the smaller shows, the next one I'll be going to will be January 11th. Jim Ryan runs a really nice show with some great dealers. There is plenty of vintage cards in all price ranges to satisfy everyone.

Link? Says long island national was 10/25 and 10/26. However, the long island Sunday show is 12/14

Looks like a special holiday version of the bigger show. We'll see how it looks but my impression of the April "National" at Hofstra was that it had shrunk a bit from prior years. The venue itself though was nicer and much more well lit than when compared to the old "Nationals" there.

If I can get away I may go Sunday but it looks iffy right now.

Didn't realize they were calling it a 'national'. Thought it was just the smaller Hofstra show that they do several times a year. Anyway, plan on being there around 11:45 on Saturday. Going w/ my 3 year old - gunna pick up a box of inexpensive cards for him to give to his classmates for show and tell : )

Shoot me message if anyone wants to meet up...

Dropped by today after the autograph guests were done. I think I might have been the only non-dealer in the building...which is not the student center, even though the website stated it was ("Show has moved to David S. Mack Student Center"). :eek:

Overall, sad show, not worth the trip from Manhattan, and very little pre-war to even look at.

I want to go on Sunday. I want to meet Felix Millian. I met him during the summer of 1974 when he came to a camp I was at.
