Posted By: <b>Jon Canfield</b><p>Just got home from it... Tons of T-206's; didn't see much in M's... Don't remeber tables though... One guy has a "bargain" box of T-206's for $15 and under - nice stuff in there too!

Posted By: <b>Keith Javic</b><p>It seemed like every other table had some nice T206's. I didn't pick up any cards, but I did pickup a 1960's Fred A Kail large Eagles statue. This completes my Eagles Kail collection. I know everyone collect vintage cards, and I know this is off topic, but does anyone here collect vintage bobbleheads or Kail statues?<br />Anyone know of a cool forum like this one for those type collectibles?<br /><br />Keith

Posted By: <b>scott ingold</b><p>Last year there were a few deals around. I'm not sure that will still be the case. Price's on the bay seem to have gone nuts in the past year.

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>Scott<br /><br />Between Friday nite and today, 7 Forum members found me at the<br />Show (booth 212). And, it was really fun talking BaseBall and<br />BB cards. And, comparing notes about the various dealers at the<br />show. And, even doing some serious card deals.<br /><br />Most of all it was great meeting and talking with a real person<br />instead of just having impersonal "electronic" conversations in<br />cyberspace on this Forum.

Posted By: <b>Josh</b><p>Lyle,<br /><br />I hope you got the money you were looking for on that 19th century set. It was one of the neatest items I've seen. I would have loved to try that in our auction. Very curious what that would have gone for.<br /><br />Hope you enjoyed the show and it was good talking to you today.<br /><br /><br />Josh Wulkan<br />Huggins and Scott Auctions<br />www.hugginsandscott.com<br />1-866-462-2273

Posted By: <b>Lyle Jobe</b><p>Josh, It was great meeting you . I enjoyed your enthusiasm . I sold the item for 2k , which is a realistic price , I think . I needed the money quickly so thats why I went with the direct sale . I will definitely keep you in mind for future auctions .<br />Fred, It was a set of fifty small booklets titled , "History of Poor Boys " . I can give you the contact info of the buyer if you send me an e-mail .<br />Leon, I hope this wasn't too far off topic ...<br />

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>Thanks Alan for the nice comments....I enjoyed chatting <br /> with you in person.<br /><br />Altogether, at least 10 Forum members were at my booth <br />during the three days of the show. Most were from the area <br />(Del, MD, NJ, NY and PA); and, one was all the way from <br />the mid-west.<br /><br />I had a great conversation with Lyle Jobe; and, really<br />appreciated seeing his 19th Century Non-Sports collection<br />which was displayed on many pages within a large album.<br /><br />We commiserated over some nice Ty Cobb cards of his, which<br />we both agreed were very "under-graded". His Sports King <br />Cobb is the nicest one I've ever seen in 25 years. Since it<br />the #1 card in that set, it is always found in Vg, or worse.<br /><br />And, I dare not forget the "inimitable" Dan McKee; a long-tme<br />veteran of the Philly Show going back to the old Willow Grove<br />days.
