It is at the Allentown Fair Grounds...just Saturday.

Since I collect all types of sports (not just baseball) related ephemera, I can usually find something good to make the trip worthwhile. Every show is different and you never know what you will find. If you only collect pre-war baseball cards...most antique shows, ephemera shows or flea markets are probably not for you (IMO).

Usually I would not brag, because I would rather not have the competition....but the last time I was at this show, some of my better pick-ups were:

1940 Brooklyn Dodgers Baseball Pre-Season Program vs. Jersey City Giants
1961 NY Titans AFL Football Program vs. Denver
Many 1950's & 1960's Baltimore Colts Paper Items (xmas cards, skeds, etc.).
Group of 1940's college basketball programs
1950's Big name boxing wire photos with stamp & captions.

The best part is that I paid wholesale prices for most and an unbelievable price for 2 of the items above.
