Is it worth the drive from Boston? How does it compare to the Shriner's Show?

Thanks

Hi Bob, I drove from Boston to the show. I prefer shiners because it’s closer but thought the show had a stronger vintage selection than previous white plains shows.

I was able to buy an e102 Cobb sgc 50, a bunch of 1933 sea raiders, bunch of 33 Mickey Mouse cards, three Batman rookies, garbage pail series 1 set, bunch of Pokémon packs for my son, 185 1933 goudey card lot low grade with hof, 8 t206 graded commons. 1956 mantle sgc 40 centered. Some sgc graded 60s baseball hof at a decent price. Three Jack Johnson boxing cards. A few Superman gum cards.

Passed on 86 opc hockey box I wish I bought. Passed on a Gehrig signed photo I thought was priced fair but not what I was looking for at the moment.

Prices for good stuff is strong but if you engage the dealers I was able to get things at a fair price.

I think it’s a good day trip.

Also got to chat with Bob Silverman and other hobby enthusiasts. Always fun.
