Slightly OT - card shows

[philliesfan]

Sounds like you are in my neck of the woods. I am just north of Philly.

There is a small monthly show in Bordentown, NJ by RK Sports Promotions. It is right off the Bordentown exit of the turnpike at the Town Inn (I think is was a Ramada Inn before). To sell, it is hit or miss. One day you can do great and the next sell nothing. Pre Covid the crowds were decent before noon but quickly dropped off.

He also has an auction in Lebanon, NJ monthly. I never attended so I have no idea what they are like.

How this gives you something to do on a Sunday...........

I'm about 25 minutes from Bordentown. Any idea if there are usually dealers at the show with vintage or pre-war?

BTW, I set up in at a show in Milwaukee on the 25th and we had, at most, 20 customers come through the door. I was expecting a big crowd, but it didn't happen.

Surprising. There have been big crowds at shows in Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, and Texas. Not National big, but way better than pre pandemic crowds.

Been big crowds at many of the Florida shows too. Of course, down here it’s a free for all and anything goes.

I'm guessing a lot of the new smaller shows that are popping up will NOT have vintage baseball cards, because the "shiny" stuff is what is popular these days.

I'm actually looking for one of those "new smaller shows that are popping up" to set up a table at. Again, something close to me. If it turns out well, I could become the "vintage guy" at that show every month.

I drove up to one or two. Last time walked in and out in 10 minutes and said never again. Very minimal pre war. But times change and that was over a year ago.
