East Coast National: Anyone Going?

[sayhey24]

Went to the show on Friday, it was as many people described it -- a fair amount of pre-war, but very expensive. I managed to find a couple of post-war bargains, including a Stan Musial Wheaties tin and a 1960s Yankees train excursion poster.

I was at the show as well on Friday, for the first time. From a memorabilia side, it was a bit of a disappointment compared to the Philly Shows, but still picked up a couple inexpensive items to make the trip worth while. Greg - it would have been nice to meet, if I knew you were there.

You're right Joe, vintage memorabilia was scarce, and we should have had a meet up!
I was looking for certain types of pinbacks, but they were few and far between.
Here are a few more photos:

Great to see everybody, some nice cards in the room.

I went Saturday. I was surprised to see a lot of signed vintage cards at this show. I picked up a signed Tom Seaver 1973 Topps and almost bought a Rickey Henderson signed rookie.

As usual, the prices at this show were insane. I asked a guy his price on a T3 Dahlen and he said $600. I looked at him like he was crazy and kept looking. 30 seconds later he'd dropped his price by $200. I passed on principle.

I was in such a rush on Friday. In and out. Ran into some cool people and, of course, the legendary John Goodman. I love that guy. I made what I thought was a good deal on the beautiful YA Tittle 1950 Bowman from a man named Steve. Bought John’s last raw T206 and bought a Southern Leaguer from Stan.

I met a few cool people as well: Brian with the 1950 Bowman’s and Lenny who just kibitzed with me for 30 minutes

Anyway, everyone was cool. John Goodman gave me some collecting advice. A decent 3 hours, to be honest.

Can anyone identify the owner of the case pictured in Greg's post, the bottom-most case in particular? I definitely did not see that case at the show but am interested in at least one of the cards I see there......
Thanks,
Brian

That's some serious eye candy there! Thanks for the pics.
