But I'd love to see a bigger show

Well,
I am back from the show...it was great. The deals were good and I was able to spend my money (although...funniest moment for me was opening wallet and seeing that my wife had cleaned me out...she claims accident...I am not so sure!)...

The Hall was a nice, well lit, clean area. Parking was iffy at best but I did not mind the walk.

A good mix of dealers, many who I knew and a few that it was nice to meet face to face...

The feeling of the show was fantastic and spent a lot of time talking and socializing and really enjoyed the feel.

A lot of people were in the room...more than I have seen for a long time at a dedicated card show.

Thanks to all who promoted, set up, and came to the show. Very much looking forward to the next one.

What a great show! I drove all the way out from New Jersey to try and support the new venture, and found lots of friendly faces and old friends. The venue was fantastic, the dealers were great and I met lots of bidders and consignors.

The post-show festivities are just as much fun.

Great time, and congrats to Anthony, Jason and Adam for a great first effort. Looking forward to next year.

My Dad and I had a blast and met some very nice people today.

I would like to thank Mr. Jason Miller and his entire team for making this show possible, as well as a special thanks to Mr. Chris Weber for providing us with a quality and affordable pair of display cases. My Dad and I are very grateful for all of the time and effort that was put into this show.

I got to hold a T206 Eddie Plank in my hands today. This absolutely made my day, as it was the first time I had ever seen one in person.

Thank You to everyone who participated today. I would gladly go do it all over again. Top notch Mr. Miller!

PS

Love of the Game Auctions had a fantastic booth setup with some amazing displays. I just want to go on record and say that I have only bought once from them, but the transaction was by far the smoothest I have ever had with an auction house on virtually all levels. I have never consigned anything to them... YET, but that may change. It was a pleasure speaking with the owner today and I feel this is certainly someone that I want to conduct more business with.

Thanks to Anthony,Jason & Adam for an excellent first effort. Nice venue with a great atmosphere. There was a good mix of material, minus autograph guests (Yes folks, you can have a show without an autograph guest). It was very nice to see some people that I hadn't seen in 20 years. It was also nice to talk with the So Cal regulars and meet some collectors for the first time. Everyone, including quite a few kids, seemed to be enjoying themselves. The day went very fast, and while most shows die out around 1PM, I didn't start packing up until after 5PM. Too many highlights to mention in print, but I'm looking forward to the next show...

Aw c'mon Mark, you are a *combination* collector,dealer, autograph guest...all in one!

I'll be asking for your autograph in Seattle in June

Sounds like a great show you had in SOCAL, which , if you guys continue to host, I might give it a shot next time.

It was nice meeting several of you yesterday, especially the co-promoters. I wasn't sure about the best way to figure out who was who, but managed to ID some. The show was great and while we there there (around 1:30-3:00), attendance was pretty strong. Everyone was very nice. So many gorgeous pre-war and 1950s-60s cards and memorabilia. My fiancee, who generally couldn't care less about baseball cards, was really impressed with some of the things she saw. It was a long drive home to the OC, but worth it!

It was nice to see dealers with vintage cards. Good job guys
