Boston Show 4/28 - 4/30

[Rich Falvo]

Anyone going to the Boston show this weekend? I'm thinking of heading up there on Saturday.

Never miss a Wilmington show, best chance to see vintage in the New England area all year. April isn`t as big as the Nov show but still worth the drive with great items and up coming auction house previews. As an added bonus for me, my all time favorite hockey player John, "the Chief" Buyck will be signing Sat at 12:00.

I'm going Saturday AM and hopefully late this afternoon

I'm passing this time around - last year's April Altman show was only half full on the floor, and the space that was there had few vintage dealers. There were even multiple home repair booths, window salesmen, T-shirt dealers, etc. - WTF were they doing at a card show?

Anyways, the $10 admission that they have jacked it up to now, the overflow of shiny stuff, the non-sports related tables - as Mark Cuban would say, for those reasons, I'm out.....

Hmm, I was planning to go but now wondering if the 2-hour drive & $10 admission would be worth it from what you are saying. I always go to the November show and it is great.

November is a totally different animal - absolutely well worth your drive. In my opinion the April one isn't worth it (different promoter, few vintage dealers, etc), but with so few live shows these days I'm sure many others will go and have a great time.....
