Wilmington, MA GBSCC Show 11/6-11/8

[skelly]

This show was flexing it's muscle the past couple days, and from what I saw, was rather well attended. I know for a fact that quite a few people made the haul from the New York / New Jersey area to see something new / mix it up a little. From a Vintage Point of view, this might be the best show on the east coast. White Plains is a good show, but being 5-6 times a year makes it a little less special, and it leans a little heavier on newer stuff than I would like to see. Don Hontz is an great guy / excellent dealer who has been a shot in the arm for the White Plains Show with his recent attendance. The Philly Show is a little fractured right now with many dealers split between the Valley Forge show and the "Oaks" show. With the climate the way it is right now, I think more and more big collectors who enjoy the "show scene" will find their way up to Massachusetts. Must say I was impressed with the amount of vintage hockey that was on display. Overall a really good show.
