The weekend baseball card show at the local mall is officially dead in Southeast PA

[39special]

The Berkshire Mall had a show last week.There were 15+ vendors.They have shows about every 2 to 3 months.There's usually a decent mix of cards.

I used to do a mall show here in Roanoke that absolutely had them hanging off the rafters. The show sold out instantly. They had a special designated community room and we had several quality free guests including Wally Moon, Ron Hodges, Rocky Bridges and others. We had some great quality dealers and lots of T206s and such...of course it was in the 1980s. The mall management eventually closed the community room and had the show move out into the mall, which IMO killed it. There just wasn't the same excitement and percolation. I still have a couple of dealers tell me how much they miss that show. I never made any money off of it, so I was not incentivized to keep it going once it stopped being as exciting for me.

I used to live a few hundred yards from the Exton Mall and don't remember ever seeing a card show there. Maybe it was an experiment.

(Also, the Exton Square Mall is at least 30 years old, if it matters...)

Have you tried the Neshaminy Mall in Bensalem? They usually have a good number of dealers but only a few with the older material. They usually have it about three maybe four times a year.
