I did buy 250+ t206 cards last year from my old gym teacher. I have gone other years and left within 5 minutes. Definitely hit or miss but the hits can be real good.

I have received quite a number of emails from Net54 guys regarding this show; and, I find that quite encouraging.

Looking forward to seeing you this Saturday at the Ephrata Recreation Center. Should be a good Show, as usual.

Plus......some really great dining places in Lancaster County. One of our favorites is Dienner's Country Restaurant
on US Route 30 in Strasburg. Pennsylvania Dutch Buffet (all you can eat) at a very reasonable price.

If anyone on this forum has any questions regarding this show, I will try to answer them.

I haven't forgotten Miller's....great place. There are fine eating places all over Lancaster Co., they are too numerous
to list here.

Saturday, we are going to Good & Plenty in Strasburg....we haven't been there for some time.

Best regards,

I went early with my little boy. This was his first time at a card show. It was pretty well attended as parking was at a premium. Once inside, his eyes gravitated right toward some old bobbleheads while mine was at the display of Red Hindus right next to them. Overall, there were several T206s, several other prewar cards along with plenty of 60s-70s.

My son is only 2 so we immediately went up and down the aisles. After seeing some of the prices and knowing I wasn't going to have time to work any deals with my mind being on the little guy, we went to the shiny stuff as he likes opening these packs. He wanted us to buy just one pack. I offered to get him more, but he said no, just one pack. He'll learn to spend my money soon enough. He picked out a pack of 2013 Topps Chrome due to Machado being on the front of the wrapper and pulls a RC gold parallel refractor numbered to 50. He has the best luck!

In general, this was a nice setup for a small show. I saw a lot of junk but there were some hidden gems there as well. I unfortunately couldn't really look too closely with the little guy, but he said he had a good time when we got home which made the entire trip worthwhile.

Winter might be ending down in Texas, but up here in Pennsy it's lingering. Yesterday we had temps at 30 and
winds blowing 40+ MPH....it's still cold here, ole buddy. There are still mounds of snow on my property.

Anyhow, you would enjoy this little ole show, it's a flashback to the shows back in the 1970's - 1980's.

I'm planning on trying to go and stopping at Shady Maple on the way home.

Rained all weekend in Lancaster County, but it didn't keep collectors away from this show. There was a large crowd right from the start at 8:30 in the morning.
This was my best show at Ephrata with respect to selling, buying, or trading. Here's a flavor of what I sold....quite a number of T206's....few 1933 Goudey's....
1941 Play Ball's....1949 Leaf BB....1952 Topps Hi #s....1953 Bowman (color) cards.

Picked up some "walk-in" stuff that came to my tables, the highlight of which was the E103 Jennings (pink color) shown here.

And, it was really great "talking BB" cards (and sports) with seven Net54 guys at the show.

I am intrigued. "Puddy" Hamilton?

James Hoffert. Lot included some piedmont factory 42's. And some 7's and 1 8. Real nice lot, they were not cheap but they should not have been.
