Philly Show - December 1-3

[philliesfan]

I did really good. Better than I expected, especially because of where my table was. I sold a few high end cards.....Walter Payton rookie PSA 8, T206 Chance PSA 4, some unopened wax.....1984 Topps Hockey boxes. And I sold a lot out of my price as marked box.....1984 T Mattingly rookies etc most high end PSA if sent in. So, I did make enough to pay for a new partial roof on my house.

The really fun thing is that my brother was with me all day on Saturday. We are very close and last December he bought the house next to me. Then on Sunday, my son was with me all day. It was a blast. Even if I did not make anything, it was well worth it spending those days with my brother and son.

Bob,

Glad to hear you did well. Was most of your buying from dealers or patrons?

It probably helped you were a new dealer there. I went to the show as well and lots of stale cards there. New dealers being there helps.

Someone affiliated with the show bought a lot on Friday along with many dealers. I would say in all, most sales were to dealers on Friday and Saturday morning and patrons on Saturday afternoon and Sunday. I would say sales were split 60% dealers and 40% patrons for the weekend.
Thanks,
Bob
