As far as the amount of vintage at the show, it was beyond my expectations. I would estimate it was roughly 50-50 to 60-40 vintage to modern. not only was there plenty of vintage, but there was a fair amount of Graded Vintage. More post war then pre-war but a decent mix.
Pricing was a little high, which is typical of most card shows and vary dealer to dealer. It was definitely the best White Plains show I’ve ever attended and was on par with a Philly show or the Wilmington fall show.
I paid up for this ‘55 Ted PSA 6 but wow was PSA super tough on this one. Newly graded so go figure. One corner has a very slight touch, 3 sharp as 8’s. Centering is darn near perfect. Clean card, black ink dots do show up more on the photo than on the card, I was surprised after seeing the photo vs naked eye. The only thing I noticed is a small red ink line to the left of his right eye. Looking at many other examples of this card this line shows up sometimes so I don’t feel it’s quite a defect. I’d certainly put this up to any other 6 or even 7’s and feel this one would be tough to beat.
Thread needs a card so here’s my pick up from the show.
