Anyone going to the Pasadena Front Row show tomorrow?

I'll be there in the afternoon, mostly to drop an order with SGC.

I'm landing at LAX at 2:30 on Sunday and almost brought a few thousand cards to consign at the COMC booth, but realized there's very little chance I get my rental car and get to Pasadena in time before it closes.

I do have tickets for the Dodgers/Braves game Tuesday night. It's a business trip, so I'm taking along 4 members of my team.

Any idea if there's much vintage there or will it be a lot more newer stuff?

90% shiny crap 7% mainstream vintage 3% interesting.

Funny and true, pretty much for any show these days.

And of course, .005 % pre war!

This is why I've long been wishing and saying that somebody would/should put together an annual Pre-War (only!) National. I have little doubt that this will come to pass, but I just hope it happens before I'm too old and feeble to attend.

I'd do it but I'm too old and feeble...

Went to the show today. It was mobbed outside. I got there around noon and the line outside was still hundreds deep...if you did not prepay for a ticket online. I did so I waited about 2 minutes. Inside was jammed too. Lots of people with absolutely no concept of where they are spatially; one idiot knocked me off my feet bulling past with his giant Zion case man-purse. Didn't even stop. Lucky I caught myself on the dealer table.

I found a small pile of pristine 1969-1976 cards but that was about it. Prices were sky-high on the vintage I did see. I wish the market was there.
