The Philly Show has been for decades the best vintage show other than the National and maybe one or two others a year, has survived a rough patch recently, but seems to be on a strong comeback. With the virus lull, I think this one will be quite exciting on many fronts. I'm bringing a carload of stuff to blow out (make that sell) to dealers and place in auctions, and I think there's going to be a lot of that. Dealers should have quite an accumulation of inventory on their tables. The dealer list reads like the National's. The Chantilly Show has been a favorite of mine as a dealer/collector for many years because it's a half hour from my house and the only decent D.C./Baltimore show since the 1990s, but it's an autograph show with a few vintage dealers--I do the floor in about 20 minutes now--whereas the Philly Show is a real old school card show. This one's not to be missed, I think there will be a real buzz there.
