Southern California Sports Collectors Show

[oaks1912]

Brian, you can act as my autograph agent in Seattle. Try to keep the price reasonable as I can’t really afford to pay out too much for each request......... Dan, you neglected to mention that I was the man in one of the photos and it was taken during the year I put together 50 sets of Hostess panels by eating the product...... David, I now am carrying a line of PCL Heritage T-shirts, that are super absorbent and shrink resistant....... I neglected to mention earlier that it was really nice to see a contingent of LOCAL collectors, wearing, displaying and collecting Dodger material. These types of shows should be resurrected around the country....All of the comments have been positive...

So a lawyer, a film editor, and a photographer walk into a bar and end up planning a card show.......


Thanks to everyone for all the positive comments, and we really appreciate everyone that attended, whether they were buyers, sellers or lookers. The show exceeded our expectations and we breathed a huge sigh of relief that it all went well. We've heard a bunch of suggestions to make it better and hopefully will get more as we really want to make it an even better experience next time - which should be in the fall. Stay tuned for details.
A big thanks goes out to Leon- the full room was testament to how well Net54 advertising works. This board really is the front page of the pre Gulf War hobby and his efforts to keep it all together make things like this show possible.
Most importantly, a huge thanks goes out to Mark Macrae who patiently talked us thru this entire process from beginning to end. A finer gentleman you will not meet.

After reading all these great posts and talking with Mark Macrae, I have to say Mega KUDOS to Adam, Anthony, and Jason for a show well done.

This scenario is reminiscent of the great shows here on the East coast in the 1970's, 1980's, and 1990's.

I am tempted to ask you guys if you can find a spot for me to set-up at your next show

My youngest daughter, Zoe, lives in Santa Monica....so, that would make for a delightful trip.

My Dad and I would set up with you in a heart beat Mr. Z!

It was really fun. Plenty of awesome vintage stuff, including a T206 Plank. It was great!

Sure thing! Just a stone's throw away, in L.A. driving terms.

Just let everyone know when the next one is and if there isn't another soccer tournament that weekend, I'm there!

The show was a ton of fun. Thank you to Anthony, Jason, and Adam for putting it together. Looking forward to the next one.

I made a 400 mile trip to set up at a one day show. I saw quite a few people from the old Hollywood Park show. Everyone that I talked to said that they were enjoying the show. The show was well run and good light. It is not normal for show promoters to come by and check on the dealers during the show, but Jason and Anthony were around all day, nice touch. I was impressed with the turnout, much better than the last new show that was tried in the area. The tables were priced so that collectors could afford to set up and did not have to cover for the expense of an autograph guest. I will be back since it is only six hours away.
