Southern California Sports Collectors Show Update

[Exhibitman]

I have been getting some PMs and emails asking about our next show. I just wanted to let everyone know that we are having our third show on May 3, 2014 at a new location: Junipero Serra High School in Gardena, CA.

The show will again be a one-day event with free admission and free parking, and a family-friendly atmosphere. Hours will be 10:00-4:00. Tables are still $95 each.

Our web site should be updated with more details by next week. In the meantime, if you want a vendor agreement, please PM me with your email address and I will get one over to you.

Hope to see you there!

Looking forward to it. I'll be there.

Can't wait, I'm there!

Why the switch from Culver City?

Always look forward to this show. I plan to set up again.

The venue was cost prohibitive and didn't have the best parking situation. This place has the same square footage and better parking. We're hoping that anyone that came to Culver City won't mind coming down the freeway on a Saturday. We always have people both in the valley and in Orange County wish the show was closer to them. Hope to see everyone that's within driving distance. PM or click the website below for details.

While some on net54 may scoff at newer material being at the show, its important to remember that very few beginning collectors start out with 50 year old (or older) baseball cards. At the first show, I remember the two 20-somethings with a nice selection of recent Dodger material, and who among the exhibitors could forget Asher at the last show, one of the most polite and knowledgeable younger collectors out there. A good mix of material and exhibitors will attract more types of collectors and insure that the local hobby will last a few generations. New location looks like it will be more user friendly to everyone, and minimize the promoter's out of pocket losses they incurred at the previous shows. Looking forward to the show

Place is totally old school! (Literally too!)...I remember going to local shows at all manner of school auditoriums and gyms when I was first starting. Can't wait to do it again.

Since it is at a school, are there going to be refreshments for sale (maybe not this time but in the future?...I know my school allows sale of food and beverage for after hours/weekend events).

I cannot wait! I will drive the extra ten minutes (really, that is all it is past Culver City) for a great show and I would love a mix of old and new product. I do not buy the new stuff but I like looking at some of it.

Yes, we'll have refreshments available. Probably a street taco truck as well.
The location is much better than Culver City. It's only about a 10-15 minute drive south, but there is a huge parking lot right next to the venue- less than 100' away. It's a few blocks off the freeway so it's pretty convenient overall.
And Mark, Asher and his brother Riley will definitely be there- he's been bugging me every 3 days since the last show.

Save a table for me - I'll bring some old bats and a few boxes of T cards.

The show is a blast; very old school vibe. Some serious cards there, too. I will def roll again.
