Hey folks, there is some new blood in the Philly area and I encourage vintage dealers and collectors to participate. I will be set up there for sure and Ted Z has already booked a table!!

Unbelievable.

I have to ask, do promoters think about what they are doing?

Within less than 150 miles there is this show, April 15-17, and the Long Island National April 16-17.

I have to believe that there are some dealers that would do both if not on the same weekend, that will now be split between the two, leaving collectors complaining about the lack of dealers and quality material at both, and perhaps the promoters each with less sold tables.

Not to mention that there are collectors that would also do both if not on the same weekend, thereby increasing attendance at both.

I'm happy for collector in the Philly area, but . . .

At times I think this hobby can be its own worst enemy.

I have never been to the Long island show but I have done many philly shows way back to the Willow Grove days.

In the pre-EBAY days & pre-overrun Auction days, BB card shows would regularly coincide on same weekends.
Happy hunting hobbyist hopped from one show to another show (within reasonable distances of each other) in
the same day....or, on alternate days.

There really isn't a problem with New York and Pennsy shows coinciding on the same weekend.

Hi Dan - I clicked on the link in your post to CSA's website. I don't see your name on the list of dealers who will be appearing at this new show. You may need to nudge Marco to update his list!
Best, Val
