Is this show worth going to? It looks like PSA is grading onsite. Any info. would be appreciated.

I have been there several times and I have always had good luck buying and selling. I don't set up to sell, I go from table to table. There are always good vintage items for sale and I have found some good deals.

The big drawback for me is the 8 hour round trip, so I'm not sure if I will make it this year.

Good luck if you go. You should be able to find some good stuff.

The show is November 21-23. It's a very good show with a lot to choose from. If you check out the Mounted Memories web site you can find more information about the show.

Great show!! About 250 dealers from across the country. There is always quite a bit of pre-war and a TON of post-war and modern cards. The show usually has quite a bit of memorabilia as well. The list of guests signing autographs is also impressive with Duke Snider and Whitey Ford among a great group attending.

I'm setting up with Memorboblia. Our booth will be staffed with old-time Chicagoans. Stop by for local restaurant and tavern tips.

Thank you for all the help.

Kyle,

What kind of talent do they have at the Risque Cafe?

Its a pretty stacked lineup of talent at Risque. Here's the beer menu from their website. I would copy and paste it, but it'd be very, very long.

Broken down by State, even looking at it makes me want to go there right now.

I am a big fan of Lagunitas beers, especially the Censored and Maximus IPA.

Toby,

There is no question, that this show is one of the best every year. I have not been, but many dealers and collectors that have gone to the show see a lot of vintage material.

Good Luck

Jimmy
