Chantilly show
 
Anyone attend the Chantilly show this weekend? Curious on pre war selection and how the show was.

I went on Friday.
There was more prewar stuff there than I think I've ever seen before. Tons and tons of post war vintage as usual and it seem to have creeped on to a lot of the more modern card dealers tables too.
The show over all was really good, was my first time going on a Friday and I think I enjoyed it more then going on a super busy Saturday. Way easier to manage and see everything.

I went to the Chantilly Show on Saturday, and I thought there was a good crowd. There were a reasonable number of dealers with pre-War cards and other stuff. Of special note, one of our members had gobs of nice T206s in his showcases, and another member had a large variety of scarce/rare cards from various pre-War sets that would excite any serious type collector.

I attended the show on Sunday, because that was the day the baseball guests were appearing. It was my first CSA show in over two years due to covid and a lack of baseball guests. The show seem well attended. I was there for Yount and Trammell. By the time I arrived, Yount had moved to the mail order room. I had to be escorted there to have Yount sign my item. I watched him finish signing two dozen baseballs. The amount of product in the mail order/wholesale room was just insane. The floor was reconfigured from what I remembered. The mail order room takes up a bulk of the main floor. The autographs area is off to the side which was a welcomed addition. PA system was great. There were even chairs for the tired and weary. I walked the floor, there was a decent amount of prewar, very little memorabilia. There was on vendor just selling pennants. His table was pretty cool and he said he would be back. Prices don't seem to be coming down. The oddball vendors always intrigue me, years ago it was a gutter guard vendor, another year jewelry, a beef jerky vendor and this year a guy selling various flavors of dips.
