I'll be there tomorrow. I will post my acquisitions, which should include a number of 1933 Goudeys towards my set. I am also dropping off some signed stuff with either JSA or SGC, depending on my mood...

Did not buy a single card that i didnt have lined up pre-show.... horrible show.... all dealers were 30-40% above retail

Prices were very high.

You can't leave cards like that at the table or the hound will sniff them out!

I tried to pick up a few others raw cards from one or two other dealers, but I won't do more than $20-25 for VG- commons.

Was a good show, nice to meet Waz, Johnny P, Peter, Bill, and a few other very nice Net54 guys. bought a nice carolina brights T206 from Bill B (BBSports), he had probably the best stuff at the show, tons of T206's, rare backs, etc...i had SGC slab some things for me, and i also reconnected with an old dealer friend (John Goodman), great guy, nice T-cards. i used to buy stuff from him in the 90's at the Hofstra show.

Glad i went, was a nice way to spend a day off from work.

Big fish Toby, Bill b, Michael, DJ, John P who doesn't like drama and the kid Hendry, I mean Waz... All great to meet and /or get to know better. Good information was being shared. Really fun.

I feel like I saw enough vintage stuff there to recommend the show. Didnt see any bats or trophies but then again wasn't looking for them.

Saw a lot of interesting Mets and even Yankees stuff too.

Picked up what I believe is a wrapper to M116's, gotta look into it further and a large, framed photo of a dinner honoring NYC baseball scribe Jack Lang, from Jan of 1969. Many interesting attendees including a baby faced Ken Singleton who I doubt played a game in the majors yet.

all in all a great.day.

Was hoping to go this weekend, but turns out today is moving day! If anyone is up there and sees a ticket from the first game at Shea, please email me. I will pay you a finders fee if we can close a transaction.

I have attended the show for many years throughout the year with some success with memorabilia, The Long Island Show at Hofstra in the fall and the spring have numerous dealers with prewar/ T206's at fair prices. I see many of them at the local hofstra show each month , to mention one who I deal with who has a lot of prewar is Goodman Sportscards, he does the local hofstra show and the two big one's in the fall and spring. Many of the dealers at the Hofstra Show don't set up at the White Plains Show due to time and travel expenses. He does have an ebay store which is a bit higher then his prices at shows. Maybe a trip to the Long Island show in the Fall 2013(possibly cancelled due to Reconstruction of the main Gym) or in April might give to more success. or contacting him directly through ebay, he was at the national and purchased a large collection of Cobb cards, he always has fresh inventory. With my years on Net54, I have very rarely found better deals at card show then I had on this website, quantity and quality at very fair prices. The White Plains show has the same promoter of the Long Island shows. This is no way is an endorsement of any dealers, just providing a good fair quality resource.
