Return of significant card shows?

[Natedog]

I just went to a show at Raleigh Fairgrounds yesterday - more folks than I've seen attend that show in quite some time. They switched the venue to a smaller building, too small for that many people given the circumstances, IMO. I pretty much walked in, realized it was futile to try and keep my distance, and walked out a short while later. I noticed several attendees and dealers with no masks or masks around their chin. Almost every table was shiny cards, with very little vintage, and I couldn't find a T206 anywhere.

At nearly 100,000 cases a day, I think i will stay with eBay and auctions for now.

I think the mid size show with be back once the pandemic subsides. The cost of selling on eBay and postage costs / unreliability will be factors I'm thinking that the 50 table show will do well.

I was an active promoter awhile back and now that I have changed up careers, I'm planning on getting back into it. I'll probably not get back into the active selling of cards.

I know Kyle has another big show scheduled in 2 weeks here in Allen Texas at the Watters Creek Convention Center (literally within walking distance of my COMC office).

We spoke today and he informed me Kit Young, among other important dealers, is planning to set up at the show.

Nice airy room, plenty of aisle space, and an easy location literally just off Central 75 in Allen. Oh and autograph guests on Saturday and Sunday including HOFers Bob Lily and Randy White and probable HOFer Drew Pearson.

Regards

And since my daughter now lives at Watters Creek I can be even closer to the show if I visit her... The last show or two I went to (Kyles) I felt safe ....

Valley Forge Show Now Cancelled.
With the numbers going up drastically of late along with a New President who will be in office late January I fear of more lock downs and restrictions.

When Will the Chicago National Be Called ? Hopefully not but I’m afraid we might be heading down that path.

Some Good News On Shows...
Nashaminy Mall show is this weekend Friday-Sunday
A longtime vintage dealer who has great stuff will be there buying and selling.
Plenty of open space areas for social distancing at this not so crowded mall. I’ve been several times.
