Thanks for that information, Pepe. We had heard that there were shows there previously but didn't know who held them. I believe Phil Regli mentioned that there were shows there in past. Are you still in Southern Cal?

Hey Jason..You're off to a great start. If 5% of the 1800+ viewers (so far) show up, you've got 90 people through the doors already.... If you combine that with a burger eating contest, you might get 200 people through the doors...Let me call Joey CHestnut and see what he charges for appearance fees:)

For any of you planning to attend the show, there's an In 'N Out approximately 1 mile or so away from the location--East on Venice Blvd.

Mark, the sausage eating contest at the show last week was a new low. The funny part was the guy was walking about giving away the leftover sausages and he grabbed one in the tongs and put it directly in Adam's hands- it was so hot it almost seared off his fingerprints. Never seen him move so fast

Candidly, we're also hoping that a one-day show will bring out the old-school weekend warriors, the guys with no real business plan, inventory, etc., and no real ambition to be 'dealers' but a lot of accumulated stuff that they'd like to turn over and would otherwise either send to an auctioneer or put on Ebay. Just the excess stuff I've sent to an auctioneer over the last year could fill a table easily and I'm sure I am not unique in that respect. My hope is that a table fee of under $100 and a one-day time commitment will convince those guys to come out and give it a shot. So, anyone reading who is SoCal local, mark May 18th and think about taking a table. Bring out your doubles, your triples and your stuff that no one would possibly want--you might be surprised.

We will have table contracts and a table selection sheet ready in a week or two.

Hello, my name is Michael. I just signed up for this site and saw this thread on SoCal card shows. I may be interested in getting a table at the Culver City show. Need to get rid of some excess cardboard and make some room.

I also saw a comment that someone posted about starting a card club. I am also interested in that as a way to maybe get some face to face trades going. Those are the type of trades from my childhood.

Thanks!
