It is meaningfully larger and more widely attended than their every-other-monthly shows.

So it seems like it could be worth the trip. Really looking to buy a few cards and just like you said, "enjoy a card show." I have the day off work so why not!

Thanks all

Some of the nicer cards I've pulled out of the Westchester County Center in recent years include:

Gets weaker every year. As someone said, same people with same cards for years running--more a museum exhibit then attempt to sell cards, unless you want to pay well above eBay prices.

Years ago the show took up both rooms -- upstairs and downstairs -- is that still the case? If not, is it upstairs on the main sports floor, or downstairs?

Upstairs, Main Sports Floor

I work in Westchester and I attend the show regularly. It's a decent time, but don't expect to find any deals. Many dealers setup in the same spot with the same exact inventory each go 'round. The show is heavy on 50s and 60s, autographs, etc. It's nice to see the Auction houses displaying their wares for upcoming events, and there are lots of interesting folks to speak with. As for vintage, there is a solid core of dealers who are strong in your common vintage sets (T206, T3, T205) - Good luck looking for obscure items...There are none to be found (as opposed to THE National, where all sorts of treasures abound).

Parking can be a pain (welcome to Westchester), and do park in designated areas - local cops WILL ticket you. Food is blase run-of-the-mill convention food (hot dogs, greasy fries, etc.).

I go looking to speak with people and enjoy a "card show". I don't expect to buy much (even though I'm hoping to do so) and I don't expect to run into many deals. As such, I normally leave as a happy camper.

Unfortunately not.
