White Plains Sunday
 

Anyone going? I'm planning on taking the train up from NYC for a few hours.

ill be there saturday

I might be there on Sunday to see Marichal. Hoping to get a picture of Marichal with my son.

I just left this show. Not much for the pre war collector. Kinda disappointed.

Christopher,

I've never had any luck at the WP show. Very little for those collecting tough issues or pre-war.

I was very disappointed today, not just in the poor selection of pre-war cards or the lack of knowlege of those dealers with them but the massive volume of modern cards being gobbled up by 9 year olds with their fathers. Seems like a magificent waste of money, in my opinion. Hopefully I won't sound like a vintage snob but how do people collect these new cards? They literally gave me a headache today. I actually saw a card today with glitter on it. Glitter!?! Could you imagine Ty Cobb's reaction if he saw his image on a shiny glittery hologram card?

Christopher - Please don't be too harsh on these "9 year olds with their fathers." Some of these 9-year-olds will eventually see the light and become pre-War collectors and Net54 members!

Preach on Val. Of course a 9 year old is more interested in new cards with players they have seen play than old cards with people they have never heard of. If it keeps them interested in baseball and collecting, more power to them and the dads that encourage their interest.
