Hey Philly show attendees… $40 Net54 prize awaits!

Hey Net54 members

For anyone who is attending (or setting up) at the Philly show, I could use your help… I would love to see (photos) of the best, most interesting dealer set up by vintage dealers at the show.

I am going to do a few more shows and would love ideas on great set up ideas that show off cards, create a great environment for buyers, etc. What makes a dealer table stand out?

As an added incentive, for the best photo/idea here, I will award you with a $40 Net54 BST shopping spree… hope Leon doesn’t mind this! Just a little added incentive and “thx” for photos and killer ideas.

Photos are a bonus in this here contest!

God, this is easy.
Hire a hot bikini babe to man your table with you. None of us pudgy, balding old men will give a flying eff about your pricing as long as we're dealing with her.

You can keep the $40. This is free advice.

No pictures? He said they would be a bonus?

I don't have any photos, but it is in the video I published yesterday on the other Philly Card Show thread. The dealer "Desert Ice Sports" does a phenomenal job at displaying his setup. It is very clean and organized.

He creates an L formation for his display cases. One laying flat and the other displayed at a slight angle. Makes it very easy for the buyer to see everything without leaning over. Very, very organized seller.

Go to minute 21:20 to catch his table.

Nice! I really like that set up.. and his cards are displayed orderly with consistent pricing tags.

Very pro set up, thx for the vid!

To me clear lighting is very helpful. Dealers that have higher end items and put clean, well lit display tend to get my attention. Put a good contrast material like black felt in the case - don’t overcrowd the case. And make sure that case is internally or with a small overhead light.

Best wishes

Thx Scott… great tips, I agree.

Keep in mind that at most shows, electrical to the booth is either not available or at a sizeable cost to the vendor, thus most are not set up with lighting. Now, I have not checked into it, but I imagine there are battery powered lights that might be an option.
