Monroeville, PA Card Shows

[Cozumeleno]

Wondering if anyone local/semi-local has been to the Monroeville, PA card shows just outside of Pittsburgh. These are just mall shows and I believe the guy who runs them also runs them in nearby Greensburg and Johnstown.

I believe they are pretty small (like 30 tables) but I'm thinking of making a run to the Monroeville one this weekend. Wondering if anyone has been to any of those and, if so, what kind of pre-war selection there usually is.

In years past the Monroeville card show was very good. However in the last few years Monroeville itself has fallen in decline. The mall itself is a haven for very disorderly teens. I would suggest going early and leaving before dark. If I were SGC or PSA I would grade the area a (1) - POOR!!!

Agreed. There was a shooting in Macy's in broad daylight 2 years ago, and twice in the last year there were huge fights (some estimates say 500 people +) between groups of teens....

Not sure if anyone made it to this or not, but it wasn't much. I think I saw like 4-5 people set up and while I saw some vintage, I didn't see anything older like T206, N-cards, etc. There's another one in Greensburg in a couple of weeks, but I would expect it's the same type of deal.
