Ephrata, Pennsylvania BB card Show....Saturday, March 19th

[tedzan]

Visit the scenic Pennsylvania Dutch country in Lancaster County. Make it a family affair......your wife (or girlfriend) can enjoy shopping in the area while
you're having fun at the Show. Afterwards, enjoy a delicious dinner at one of the many great restaurants along U.S. Route 30. And, check-out the great
attractions in the area. My favorite is the enormous Pennsylvania Railroad Museum in nearby Strasburg

This Show has been operating since 1980, so come an celebrate its 37th Anniversary. It's located at the Ephrata Recreation Center..130 South Academy
Drive. Travel thru town, then when you are in the residential area you'll find Academy Drive, turn LEFT at traffic light intersection, then a quick RIGHT in
to the parking lot.


Show times are:

8:30 AM - 5 PM, Saturday March 19th

Autograph guest this year is Jim Palmer....he will be signing between 11 AM - 1 PM

At 2:30 PM the Sportscard & Memorabilia Auction begins.


Every year there are approx. 50 dealers with some very interesting stuff. I will be set up near the entrance with a variety of vintage BB cards from 1887-
1970 (graded and ungraded). And, for you Tobacco card dudes, I wll have a assortment of appro. 200 cards (most of which are T206's).

Looking forward to seeing some of you.

Never mind. Answered my own question.

Maybe I can see if the wife wants to take a drive. We go out there many times a year. Shopping and great food! I never been out there for a show though. How far is it from Park City Mall or the outlets? If I make it there, I will look for you and introduce myself.
Thanks
Robert

I attended last year while I was still living in NJ. Made a weekend out of it with all of the antique shops in the area. Some interesting stuff at the show, better than the typical, local VFW type show but nothing like the regional shows: Boston, Valley Forge, Chantilly, etc.

2 or 3 years ago i purchased several factory 42 Piedmont T205 and T206 cards and last year i bough a side to side miscut T205 showing parts of 2 cards on the front all for far below market values. It is one of the best one day shows still out there. Not sure its worth more than a few hour drive but it is excellent for anyone in the area.

Hi Robert

When you leave the Show in Ephrata, stay on Rte 322 (heading East) thru the town. Continue past the Rte 222 interchange, and Shady Maple
is about 2 (or 3) miles further East on Rte 322.

Another good eating place is Dienner's Country Restaurant on U.S. Rte 30, between the towns of Strasburg and Paradise.

It's not as elegant as Miller's or Shady Maple restaurants; however, it is priced more reasonable than those two "biggies".
And, their Pennsy Dutch buffet is good quality food.
