Show in Plano Texas March 9th

[GehrigFan]

... Just wanted to point out that you are doing a great job promoting your first show. I wish the other Dallas area shows did so much. As it is, this will likely be my last hurrah for a while setting up at Dallas shows as the traffic just hasn't been there. But I have high hopes for your show and might be able to keep doing them. Real good work on putting this together - looking forward to Sunday!

We are listed with a nice little write-up in the Dallas Morning News Neighbors "GO" section in the Go and Do section on page 6 ---

It helps I do have a few contacts garnered over the years --

But this was something I always wanted to do and darned if I was not going to give this my best effort.

We have reached out to every possible source I could think of: but I'm sure I could have done more.

Thanks for the nice words --- we have an great array of free material (and more hopefully coming today or tomorrow from Panini) and will keep at this.

We do have a nice mix of dealers, some of whom are traveling quite a decent distance to come.

While we might have drawn more $$$ with a silent auction, I'm happier with door prizes as everyone who comes in now has a chance to win something and with 16+ prizes (Panini told me last night the package is on the way and I hope it arrives today or tomorrow) we have a nice mix for everyone.

And yes, the vendors are eligible for door prizes as this is a fund raiser. You do have to be present to win the door prizes as well.

Following the David Cycleback rule of following up one's own post:

WHen I got home tonight, there was a huge box from Panini, I could barely lift the box. The entire box is packs of Score FB and Hoops BK. Great giveways at the door. I opened one of each pack so I can talk about the cards and pulled an $8 BV insert.

In addition, Leaf has promised through one of their reps to donate packs to us as well. Not sure what they are\, will find out on Sunday.

Great show, Rich. My sons and I had a great time. My youngest was excited about the door prize auctions, even though we did not win, as well as the free packs of cards, and my oldest bought his very first baseball card set. Of course, dad was pleased.

Nice mix of dealers, too. Hope you'll do it again! Highly recommended.

Sorry I missed you Jay....but I did buy a childhood early 70s Topps collection. It's a true "shoebox" collection from a guy's closet. I collected that stuff out of the packs as a kid so it brought back memories. There are only around a thousand to twelve hundred cards and they will be fun to go through. Great turnout at the show.......

Leon, that's awesome. I picked up a 1982 Donruss set from Rich, and my oldest bought his first baseball card set ever (1987 Topps); he liked the way they looked. Also picked up some old 1930s movie-star tobacco cards from the UK. Got a Lon Chaney from the silent film "The Unknown." Lots of good variety at the show, with modern, 1950s, some pre-war and tobacco, books, etc.
