How many dealers will be there? I may try and make it.

I emailed the promoter and he said there 70 tables plus PSA and JSA.

It's a good show. Quite a bit of vintage to be had. Unfortunately, I'm having minor surgery on Friday so I doubt I will make it.

This is always a good show. Quality dealers despite it being a relatively smaller show.

I thought it was a good show. Nice mix. Picked up a couple 51 Bowman upgrades for my set

It's always fun walking around shows and chatting. It's even better when I find something to buy. Any other updates from this show?

I'll try to be a little more specific. I'd estimate 50 tables/ vendors. All very friendly ( uhh all but one), 70% post war, 20% prewar, 10 % glitter. I'd say 95% of inventory was ungraded. Guys were willing to come off asking price without much pause. Wish I could have stayed longer but had to get son and new granddaughter to the pumpkin patch

I was there on Sunday. Other than the annoying barking about the hockey players signing autographs, it was a nice show. It could use better lighting too. A lot of vintage for a St. Louis show. Some of the out-of-town dealers who set up were JD Heckathorn, Wayne Johnson, William Chappell, Roger Neufeldt and Tim Payne. I saw at least one T204 Ramly, Old Judges, lots of 206s, 202s, 201s, 207s, 205s, etc. Didn't see any T3s though. I saw a really nice T200 NY Americans, but it was a bit out of my price range. I heard I missed out on the T200 SL Americans and Nationals that sold the day before - would have liked to have bought those. I also didn't see any M101-2's or 34 Butterfingers. I bought a few 39 Playball commons/lower grade cards with the upper/lower caps backs, some 58 Topps team cards that I needed, and a bunch of 52 Bowmans (I didn't find a nice Mantle or Mays though). I was willing to splurge on a 39 PB Williams or 34 Greenberg if I could find one in nice shape - I think they are all with the auction houses. Oh yeah, I also bought a nice 55 Topps All American Tinsley with the Whizzer White back.
