It was great meeting you Ted. Regret that I couldn't chat more, but flying solo it's tough to get away from the booth!

Though what i am bringing is priced to move. if there was something you saw at the national and want me to bring to valley forge please let me know others ill leave it at home. thanks, Glyn

I am looking forward to setting up at Philly after several years of absence.

Hope to see everyone there, have fun!

Great !!
 

...talking to this guy at a card show is worth the trip all by itself....looking forward...I'll bring cash...

..

I will be there Sunday (first time ever at this show), to meet a fellow board member and complete a deal for an E121 Babe Ruth (no ""), which originated from a BST post on the board

Hey Danny

It will be like the "good ole days" again with you at this Show. Looking forward to seeing you.

I will be setting up at Booth # 412.

I hope to see some of you. Just "talking BB", or wheeling-n-dealing Sportscards this Friday, Saturday & Sunday.

I'll have for sale (or trade) cards from 1887 thru to the 1970's. With 200+ T206 cards (Stars, SL's & Commons).
Including some tough backs (AB 460, red HINDU, PIEDMONT 460/42, and UZIT).

Have a great weekend.

Since I'm doing the show in the middle of moving, I'm mainly going to have bins from 25¢ to $20. Definitely something different for me. Will have a few other odds and ends including a 1955 Topps Set with Clemente and Koufax both in PSA 5. Sucks that I can't walk around much and say hi to N54 Dealers. Please everyone stop by and say "hi" booth 710.

can't wait to visit your table dan. the show has been missing your quality vintage offerings!

Sounds like this is going to be a great show!! Glad you were able to negotiate a deal as we spoke about.
Wish I could make it. One of these days I will!!

.

I'll be there one of the days.

Be sure to stop by booth 911 to see our display of items from the upcoming Fall Auction, several of which we will be unveiling for the first time! We'll have some amazing items and will be able to sign you up for a free catalog and accept consignments for the late additions section of the October auction (starting October 6) or for the Spring Auction.

Brian

Will be there tomorrow. Looking forward to returning under the new regine

Danny:

Glad you are setting up. Missed you at the National. See you Friday!

Fred McKie

I'll be there tomorrow, looking forward to it.

I'll be there Friday-

in everyone's experience are all the vendors set up Friday?

yup

EDIT: I mean, nope, booth 710 is the only available booth Friday :P

I'll be there. Heading out from NY in a few min.

Any feedback on show? is BGS doing raw grade review? Any sgc specials? I image psa is collecting subs

Hope to be there first thing tomorrow.

If anyone sees any vintage women in baseball items give me a heads up!

BGS is doing raw card review. Both SGC and PSA where there. I had 30 autos to drop off with PSA but the line was extremely long.

Good mix but certainly more vintage. Was quite surprised to see so much modern basketball/ hockey cards!

Picked up 7 206's from three sellers

Was there for a few hours this afternoon. PSA line was sick. Really good crowd to open the weekend.

I miss this show since I moved away from Philly! Fun times, hope people find great things there!

Nice uptick in vintage I think. I wasn't there for cards but there seemed to be more vintage than prior shows. A really nice mix. All of the important alphabet soup we're there.

I picked up a pair of mint vintage AAGPBL pins for a fair price.

Probably the last Philly show for me today, or the entire hobby's prices are going up.

have had a good show so far, and nice to see familiar faces as well as meet some members I haven't had a chance to previously. Dan McKee, I am flying solo so it's hard to get away from my booth, I'd love to say hi if you can get over to booth 710 some time.

Everyone should ask Val Kehl about his awesome door prize!

I made a quick trip to the show today, and it was great to see so much foot traffic! As I understand it, some dealers were doing better than others, but overall is was nice to see some dealers that hadn't been in attendance recently. Noticeable improvements.

Even though I didn't buy any vintage, I look forward to returning. (I did buy a few boxes of early 90's wax at less than $10/box... Opening cheap packs is fun entertainment while watching my fantasy football team tank tomorrow.:D)

I had a great time talking to Val, Dan McKee, Ted Z, and his lovely wife.

If you're thinking about going tomorrow, check it out -- it's worth supporting the show now so that it continues to improve. Perhaps it'll get even stronger going forward.

Cheers,
Steve

The good news - first time in my 30 years of attending card shows that I ever won a door prize! The bad news - the prize was a signed, glossy photo of some Phila. Eagles lineman lineman I never heard of and that I was told played in the 1980's - of absolutely no interest to me - gave it to the young fellow at the show entrance who was collecting the admission tickets and stamping hands for return entry.

Another cheap thrill was watching Dan Mckee's table for him while he went to take a whiz. What a thrill it would have been to sell his Baltimore News card or his Washington Times card or any of his other truly rare cards while he was away! No such thrill, but I almost sold a WaJo strip card!

Scott, your post served to remind me that I promised to come back after I visited Dan's table and tell you where Dan's table was located. Sorry, but my Alzheimer's-like memory failed me again! Glad you are having a good show.

First philly show for me, and I hope it was the first of many. I loved all the vintage. Great show

As a dealer it was a super solid show for me, and that's with my weakest inventory in a LONG time, can't wait until I can bring some good stuff again! Thanks to all the great customers and of course to Joe Drelich!

Thoroughly enjoyed the show. Made a few pick-ups that I am very pleased with (photos in "September Pickups" thread), and really enjoyed talking with fellow pre-war enthusiasts. Overall, I thought that the selection of quality pre-war cards was good. Found John Montefusco and Bobby Shantz cards at Uncle Dick's and grabbed the free autographs for my kids (Montefusco on Friday and Shantz on Sunday). Both were friendly and talkative, and happy to accommodate inscription requests and pose for photos. Not really my thing, but there seemed to be a very good selection of raw and graded 50's and 60's stuff as well as modern. Looking forward to Chantilly.

Really wanted to go but a family medical situation intervened. Bummed. Like that show.

Nothing serious, I hope. Family first, then cards! Chantilly is only a few weeks away...

Thanks. Serious but now under control. For now.

I hope to be at next years show..i assuming a lot of 80s-early 90s Eagles pictures etc. Some of the best defenses in NFL

Mike Mamula !
 

I just wanted to say thank you to the Net54 family of dealers and collectors ! The Philly show greatly appreciates your support. I'm proud to say we had many people use the 1/2 off Friday discount. We will continue to offer specials for the Net54 community at our future events. Our next show is December 1st-3rd.

A special congrats goes out to Val for winning his first door prize, a Mike Mamula signed 8 x 10 ! I believe his quote was " This and 2 bucks might get me a cup of coffee". What can I say Val, maybe next time it will be a T206 Ty Cobb...

The crowds were strong on Friday and Saturday, Sunday the foot traffic was a little lighter, however that was to be expected as The Eagles had there home opener at 1pm against the Giants.

I'm excited for the future of the show and for our hobby.

Hope to see you all in December. Feel free to email me with any questions about the show.

Thanks Joe for keeping it going. Fun way to spend an afternoon. I will make the next one if I have to walk from New Jersey.

Hey Joe, thanks (I think) for the "special congrats." Not only was my door prize worthless (to me, anyway), but I had to pay the full admission price because I attended on Saturday! Now then, if you will include a T206 WaJo (even in poor condition) as one of the door prizes, I'll come to every Philly Show (I come only once every year or two), despite Philly being a long-ass drive from Manassas, VA, and back, especially as I am too cheap to spend for a hotel.

All teasing aside, I and many other collectors are most appreciative of your efforts to greatly improve and build up both the Philly Show and the Chantilly Show (which I have attended every time since its inception - I always attend on Friday, because it used to be FREE admission), and I wish you great success.
