Posted By: <b>Alan</b><p>I was there Friday night. Fantastic show !!! It was truly a pleasure meeting & speaking to Ted Z. !!! Each show seems to be better than the last one. A lot of dealers were there that had not been there in a while !!! Also, a pleasure to have met Dan McKee. Some of the auction houses were there including Mastro, Scott/Huggins, etc,... Again, it was a fantastic show !!! I have heard (even though there are less dealers) that it has as good, if not better, vintage material than there is at the national !!!<br /><br />Alan<br />

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>Tim<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your experiences at the Philly Show with<br />us. You exactly caught the "spirit" of this posting. I think<br />most of us enjoy exchanging stories of our purchases (or our<br />sales). And, thanks Tim for your nice comments.<br /><br />Alan<br /><br />We had some interesting stories between us: it was fun.<br /><br />James<br /><br />Sorry guy, I only set-up at the 4 - Philly Shows and at the<br />HOF weekend in Cooperstown. You'll have to travel to Philly;<br />the next one is Dec 2 - 4th. I usually fill my Tobacco card<br />box with about 100 T-type cards. Most are T206's; but, also<br />some T205's and T207's. <br /><br />I forgot to note on the above list two very important<br />cards....1933 Goudey and a 1940 PlayBall Moe Berg cards.<br />At every Philly Show there are at least 5 or 6 requests<br />for this fascinating man's BB cards. I always try to go<br />to the show with at least a couple of his cards in stock. <br />

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>LYLE<br /><br />It was great meeting you and talking Yankees talk.<br /><br />And, I am glad you really enjoyed my VCBC article on the<br />1888 (or perhaps 1889) GOODWIN CHAMPIONS (N162 set).<br /><br />I have received numerous positive comments on it. I do<br />not claim to be an expert on these cards; however, after<br />putting together 3.5 sets over the years, I think I can<br />say I know a lot about them. As my article shows, I did<br />do quite a bit of research into the players portayed in<br />this set. Additionally, having the Album (A36) that the<br />Goodwin Co. beautifully produced to depict all 50 cards<br />gives me a greater appreciation for this set.
