I noticed that SCD lists a rather large card show (200 tables) in Dallas on 11/29-12/02. They list it as a "Football Spectacular".

Do you guys, or any other locals, know anything about this show? Is it football only? I figure 200 tables at the Dallas Convention Center must have more than football.

Worth the trip?

First I have heard about it.....Hard to believe there will be 200 tables of only football stuff....

I am with Leon on this. I can't believe there would be a show in Dallas that would have 200 tables of any type of cards, much less all football. I have lived here my whole life and I have seen the Arlington shows go from a mad rush to enter on Friday to a ghost town. I don't believe there were more than 60 dealers at the last show which was heavily promoted.

The card market is not what it was back in the 1990's down here.

Leon, do you agree?

but the autograph guests are all or predominantly football players?

Autograph guests (many, all 4 days) are 90% football.

I was just hoping for a table or two of vintage baseball cards.

An autograph show.

And I'd suspect 90-95% of all the materials that will be out will be football related. If you are hopeful of finding pre-war baseball cards, you might as well be driving around looking at garage/yard/estate sales here.

I have been in Dallas 20 yrs but collecting vintage for only 10. Tri-Star used to have some vintage baseball card tables (at the Ranger thingy).....but even the last few of those have only had a few vintage cards. Roger Neufeldt does that show so at least it has that going for it....Don't know of much other vintage in Dallas...or at shows..
