I was there this morning. I was able to find and meet Scott. Nice guy. He gave me 10% off a T207 Oakes for being a Net54 member. I also added a couple T206's and a D322 for my Pirates collection.

I had money to spend on Prewar cards, and since I drove 2 hrs. to get there, I was leaving with something. There were a couple of dealers who didn't seem to want to give me the time of day but had stuff I was interested in. So, they probably lost a couple sales. I gave my business to the ones that said hello, asked what I collected, searched through their inventory, and showed me what they had.

It was my first show in almost 30 years. There wasn't a ton of Prewar, but overall, it wasn't a bad way to spend a Saturday morning. I'll probably go to another in the future.

Chantilly used to have a stack of floor maps at the door. Not anymore. Also would love it if the tables had their table number on it so when dealers tell you what table they are at, you could actually find it!

I hit the show today (Sunday). I arrived just after noon. The parking lot was crowded so I was expecting a madhouse inside, but that was not the case. Very calm and no lines. I was there to add Frank Thomas to a HOF piece. The space is configured differently, and there was plenty of room. Saw the same dealers with the same material. There was even a Corvette parked on the show floor. Memorabilia wise, nothing really piqued my interest. I spoke with few dealers and most said the show was okay. Frank Thomas was very cordial and seemed to be having a good time.

The show is well run. The new autograph chute is an improvement over the mass of people huddled around a small entrance. Folks still tend to congregate there the thinking being they will miss the guest. PA system was great, with plenty of number updates and last calls and photo op information for each guest. The added signage for autograph numbers is a good idea, but ideally the board needs to be well above eye level.

Odd thing of the day, a collector had a nice rather large framed Deion Sanders Atlanta Falcon jersey and photos etc.. I saw the guy lugging this thing around for most of the time I was there. When I was in line for Frank Thomas, I glanced and saw Deion about to sign the guys piece. The guy had Deion sign the thin plexiglass that covered the piece not the jersey itself. Deion hesitated and signed the plexiglass. I don't see that signature lasting long on that material and at $100 a pop for Deion's signature......ouch.
