GBSCC Shriner's Show!

[Vintagecatcher]

Reporting back from today's opening day at the Shriner's Auditorium Show in Wilmington, MA.

Although the crowd was decent, the selection of pre-war cards was weaker than in past years.

Plenty of T206s, T205, and some T207s, but the quality was not up to the usual standards.

No card purchases for me, but I did pick up a nice little D&M catcher mask with forehead and shin straps intact.

Thanks for the heads up. I myself won't be able to make it. I'm kinda bumming out about it. Love going to that show. Best of luck on your purchases guys this show. Can't wait to see what some people picked up. Be sure to share

Show is very strong 50-60s, not as much prewar as was mentioned. I was happy to get a fair price on a nice cobb/jennings t202. Been on my list for a while. Also did well with the 707sc guys. I think they brought the entire inventory.

Had a nice time at the show. I agree the early baseball selection was a little weak, but thanks to Don for my t205 Evers. Also down to 3 cards on my 59 set. Just for fun I bought a 1988 fleer rack box for 15 bucks (my wife likes opening packs).

Just curios, but what does doing well with them mean? My experience, including this show, is 707 has the best depth of inventory at prices that are nearly impossible to justify, particularly against recent auction results??/

Im down to a tough few on my leaf set and their inventory was deep enough to give me multiple options on several cards. Levi spent some time helping me go over them. The prices arent a bargain but I got a volume discount to ease the pain. Perception of value changes as the set gets to the end..

Have to agree with you, 707 and Deans Cards prices are hard to justify..when you have 6k auctions or sales and you've only sold 160, that should tell you something. But if we don't like the prices, then we go elsewhere..
