I agree with Steve - the WSSCA show is not to be missed if at all possible. A couple of years ago I actually asked my daughter to reschedule her birthday celebration so I could attend the show.
The show is a great opportunity to visit with old friends and new, including several Net54 members.
And the cards! The first table I stopped at yielded a hit to my 1947 Centennial Flour Seattle Rainiers Centennial Flour set - I am now down to one card for complete the four-year run of cards.
The second table yielded two hits to by Seattle Popcorn card sets - a 1961 Tillman and a 1966 Rojas. I'm at the point in these sets where new hits are few and far between.
After those two tables, everything else was pure gravy. I picked up a 1924 Seattle Zeenut (Eldred), my first T205 minor league card (Nee Newark), and my first 1917 Collins-McCarthy E-135 (Larry Doyle).
The show is well run and there are many knowledgeable dealers, many of whom are collectors themselves and who are quite happy to talk and share information. Again, a show well worth the effort to go to.
