I am rooting for their success. It is about time we had a major show in SoCal.

I'm rooting for their success, too.

But it's still a stupid name for a card show in Anaheim.

"Burbank Sportscard's Card Show of Anaheim", maybe.


I think I may stand near baggage claim at the Burbank airport with a sign that says "Burbank Card Show 43.1 Miles" with an arrow...

Luther Burbank was a pioneering horticulturist who developed a disease resistant variant of the russet potato in response to the devastating Irish potato famine. This potato variant was eventually named after him. So yes a card show in Anaheim is rightfully identified as the Burbank Card Show, as I can't imagine the convention center not selling french fries in their snack bar.

I agree with those who say this event needs a better name — and I feel the same way about the Angels' full name. The word "at" should never be part of the name of anything. I'm hopeful about the show, though, in part because I have many great memories of card shows in Orange County back in the 1970s. I'm driving down tomorrow from Monterey, and I plan to be at the show Saturday.

As for vintage, I consider it's anything that is older than I am, which means pre-1960.

That was f'n funny!

Maybe the Burbank card show should be in Santa Rosa, CA? (Google is your friend)

The hotels are expecting to be slammed with incoming attendees. Last night's preview evening felt slow but that room is gigantic and will easily hold thousands of people.

Name games aside, the venue is a fantastic show site. Very comfortable, literally: the floors are carpeted! Tons of sitting areas right outside the show floor. There are several hotels in walking distance and they are big ones. The Marriott I am in has over 1,000 rooms. The area reminds me of The Strip in LV, physically speaking: walkable but massive.

Had a member pick up a nice E100 for me today while at the show, so +1 for Burbank.

FWIW, I was there for a couple hours today and saw quite a bit of 1940-60 HOF cards, as well as some T206/T205. As one example, I probably saw about 40 different 52 Bowman Mantle cards, and about 10 1952 Topps 311. I didn't really get too deep into pricing (most of the marked stuff seemed pretty ambitious), I was just window shopping. But, at least there was a fair amount of eye candy to look at if you like the vintage "hits."

Any other reports or pictures from the show? Plan on heading down there tomorrow.

Dropped off my 4 complete jello boxes (2x 1962, 2x 1963) at PSA,and then swung by to say hello to Adam, and scored a few Mel Ott pieces to add to my collection.

(That’s Adam doing the wave behind me.)

Stupid pics never want to display right side up!

Just heard from 2 friends who went to the show and both have been in line since 10 and 11...it is now close to 12 and they are not inside yet saying the line was at least 1/4 mile long. Sounds like a great turnout.

I might actually go down on Sunday, I fly back from Vegas in the morning, thinking about making the trek.

Anybody in the SFV have an interest in joining me?
