San Francisco Collectors Show - Worth Attending?

[Buythatcard]

Just heard about the San Francisco Collectors show at Cow Palace on 4/19-4/21 sponsored by Tristar.

Anyone think that this show is worth attending for pre war cards? I am not interested in the autographs.

As of today, there was no dealer list available so I have no idea who will be there.

It's across the country for me so I have to see if this is really worth the time and effort.

In the meantime, it's off to the Philly show.

Not worth it for a cross country trip. I went one year and the only thing I got out of it was that I was able to meet Michael from SGC and drop off a submission.

Pretty crappy last year but it was only a $2 bus ride for me to get there. I'll be going again just in case. I've got a PCL item I'm going to try to trade someone if I can.

That must have been 1 expensive submission. Did it atleast come back with a decent grade?

Definitely not worth a cross country trip. It's really not worth it for me to make the trek from the Sacramento area but I will anyway. I'm a sucker for a card show. Maybe some of us Net54 guys can meet up? Good luck at the Philly show. Hopefully it's good.

I am interested in any San Diego Padres or Cleveland Indians Hage's Dairy cards if anyone picks 1 or 2 or 20 of them up there.

Thank you

Actually, it was just a bunch of beater 1933 Goudeys. Probably wasn't worth the price to grade them. However, I did also pickup some of the SGC boxes for cards then, and since I got them at the show, I wasn't charged a shipping fee for them.

It was one of my regular shows in the late 80s early 90s along with the
San Mateo mall just a few minutes up the road, good memories!

Fashion Island?

I was all over the SF show as a kid in the '80's.. "The Moscone". It was a dreamworld to me.
