Inside Pitch Show Raleigh, NC

Hey guys...does anyone go to any of these shows? I see they got one coming up tomorrow and Sunday. Is it worth going to if your into mostly 1950-1969 vintage? I would mostly just be looking for Mickey Mantle. Anyone else plan on going or have been before and can fill me in on what to expect?

I have gone a few times but only out of a lack of other things to do . It is a very small show that only has one or two decent tables to look at. You can run through the entire show in about an hour.

Thanks Bob...I kinda had the same thing in mind. I believe they advertised it as having 275 tables. Im really only looking for higher grade Micks to add to my collection so it may be a hit or miss thing.

No Problem, there is one or two people that do come with high end Mantles and I can check and see if he is coming. I will PM you and let you know

That would be great! Fingers crossed as I have a few more I still need to complete my run! Thanks

I have been to this show twice before and loved it both times. I think I've seen a great variety of cards including higher grades. Both shows I went to were dedicated to just sports memorabilia though. I believe the one this weekend is a mix of both toys and hobbies. According to a fellow board member and good friend Chris (campyfan39) this show is a bit smaller pickings for cards but still worth taking a peek at.
If you end up going I hope you find what your looking for but stop and enjoy yourself while there. There are a lot of good people there. Wish I was able to be there. Good luck.

Fun show. Usually in July December and January they have three day sports card shows that are pretty good and I usually spend several hours there. Drew is correct that tomorrow is a toy and hobby one so half the floor will be Star Wars stuff and old toys etc. I like that stuff too so I am headed out in the morning.

Thanks for info guys! Let me know how it goes Chris, and if you happen to run up on any high grade Mantles shoot me a pm. I am especially looking for a nicely centered 61T PSA 7+ and a 55B PSA 7...or for that matter any Mantle PSA 7+ haha. Have fun at the show! I am going to try to make it tomorrow morning.
