Question - NJ Spirts Card Show Convention Freehold

[TaxMechanick]

I see there’s a show on Friday and Saturday in Freehold NJ at a place called iPlay America…
Anyone been to a prior show there? Is it worth going? Any substantial vintage? If so, any substantial pre WWII?… sports and non-sports…

I went once a couple of years ago...was excited because its less than an hour from my house...about 75 to 100 tables and less than 5 were vintage and only one had anything older than the 50's....3 were 60's or newer. Huge disappointment. Maybe its better now, but I'm not taking the ride.

There was a thread a few years ago the show. Looks like not much vintage then.

Thanks Johnny and Jay!
It's about an hour for me, so I'm debating. Right now, I'm leaning against going unless I hear some more recent experiences that indicate there is more vintage...
The show does appear to be a lot larger than it was a couple of years ago. I do assume that's mostly modern sports and gaming card dealers...

I recently went to a small show in Woodbridge NJ, and it seemed to me to be about 75% gaming cards! The sports side was more modern, but there were a splattering of vintage (no exclusive vintage dealers). The only tobacco cards I saw were a pile of less then poor mostly T206s, a few others (i.e. T207, oh, 1 e-card) sold as a lot (pieces missing on most), all commons except for 1 light HOFer (I believe Griffith)... and it was not cheap (I recollect $1,000 as starting point, for I believe group of (30) or so)...

... oh, adding to last email, I recollect all common backs.
