Burbank Card Show-Vintage dealers?

[oldschool73]

Hello,
Headed to the Burbank show on Friday 9/1. Any Vintage dealers here attending? What table number? Looking to complete my 56 Topss Baseball set...among others.

Thanks

I looked at the vendor list and not sure if it is complete but I did not see many company names or logos that screamed vintage. Sure there will be some in attendance but appears that no National level dealers, other than Memory Lane, will be set up.

I will be at table 1456 with a range of stuff from all sports and nonsports.

I guess we will see. Their first show was like that, and I had a great weekend selling pre-Y2K cards. Hopefully, history repeats itself.

From what I hear from many collectors and dealers I speak with, most shows are this way. There are a few back east that are not overrun with the modern. Forget which I was told those are because I am not headed back east for a show.

I suppose if you are 1 of 10 in the room with vintage at a show as large as this one coming up, you can kill it...assuming the vintage collectors stay there long enough to find you.

I agree, anyone with vintage is going to have a line at their table

I won't. I will make 1 pass of the area and if I see nothing but modern, I will just bolt and take my fat stacks with me. Not only that, I won't return for another 32 years, like I did since my last show there
I can't wait to go today and catch covid while I'm at it and smell ass all day

The Frank and Sons show used to be pretty decent. This was years ago. I went about a month ago and there was, if I remember correctly, only 2 tables with vintage (post-war) cards. The rest was modern cards and a mostly 70’s & 80’s toys, and Pokémon cards. Pretty disappointing from what it used to be.

IG. Heh, us dinosaurs expect a dedicated web site.

As commons go, I am bringing a few thousand 1975-76-78-79-80 football commons. I got cleaned out of 77s at the show last year and haven't replenished.

Also, guys, a little perspective on the pre-show bitching, or, to quote my friend Vintageball (Robert Silverman): "your worst day at a card show is better than your best day at work."
