Ohio Sports Collector Convention in Strongsville - Worth the drive?

[Rob D.]

The Base Ball Bats card was a Strongsville purchase last year. The pin is from two years ago. Three years ago I didn't go until Sunday but still got a group of eight Van Patrick postcards, including a Bob Lemon.

I've been to this many times over the years and I think it is still worth the drive. I would suggest that anybody driving a couple hours most definately go on Saturday as most dealers vacate early on Sunday.

Seems I will be making the trip from all the positive feedback. I see that it starts at Noon on Friday, Are all the dealers usually set up by mid-afternoon on Friday? Or would Saturday be the better choice?

Agreed. I can usually only make it on Sundays, and the tables definitely start to thin out.

Thought I'd bring this one back up since the show is next week. Thinking I will be there with one or two of my daughters. Anyone else going? Love to say hey to you!

I'll be there on Friday and maybe Sunday. Great show and great location (for me). I've taken my son a couple times too. He always walks away with a smile. The dealers and atmosphere are great!

Shoot, Jon, I think we are going on Saturday!

For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure that both my daughter and I will be wearing our Grady Sizemore Indians jerseys, so we will be easy to spot. I'm pretty tall, too, at 6'2" and Brooklyn's just a little 8 year old. Hopefully not too many others will fit that profile. Feel free to say hi if you spot me! I think we will be there all afternoon on Saturday.
