East Coast National: Anyone Going?

[Al C.risafulli]

I'll be there as usual, at my table just inside the front door, begging people for consignments for the next auction.

I'll be in New York this weekend and was thinking about checking it out Friday. I'm staying in midtown and have never been north of Yankee stadium so trying to figure out if it's worth the time to head up there. Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

I'm planning to go to this show too, but have never been there before. Can someone post more about this show and how this show compares to the Philly show or Chantilly ?

Thx.

I'm going Tom -- haven't been in several years, but I've always seen a pretty decent selection of vintage there.

I'll probably go too. I've been to this show many times. There is usually a decent selection of pre-war but you are going to have to pay double what you should if you want to buy anything. Sometimes you may get lucky and find a reasonable person. But for the most part its the same dealers with the same cards show after show, always haggling and never selling anything.

I'm planning to be there on Sat. I usually head up to most of the White Plains shows. In my opinion, the show is very similar to the Philly Show. A lot of the same dealers at both. There is usually a good selection of prewar, but prices of course will be higher than ebay. If you dig around a bit you may be able to find a bargain or two. If you have any specific questions, I'll do my best to answer them.

I will be setting up at the show thur thru sunday---I have 10 showcases of graded cards---10 Ty Cobbs--1933 Ruth (2) Graded T206's with many epdg backs--Loaded with 1950's and 60's stars ( 1952 Topps Mantle SGC authentic)--psa 7 1951 Bowman Willie Mays RC--plus all the others. I just purchased a graded 1951 Bowman set (all stars graded) Sorry , sold the Mantle at the National---For ungraded commons, I have 1951 Bowman--1957 Topps. Plus a lot of other good stuff. This show is great for Vintage cards with Top Notch dealers. I feel the show is worth a trip for all.

That's all well and good, but will you have a psa 8.5 rose rookie wink-wink?!?!
