DEALER BOOTHS and INVENTORY???

kailes2872 · #1 07-30-2016, 08:54 PM

We are leaving for New York tomorrow and heading down to AC on Wednesday. I asked my wife if she would wait in the PSA line for me on Thursday with a 1/2 dozen submissions but I got a glance and an eyeroll.

In anticipation of the big show, I did a quick analysis of 306 dealers represented on the NSCC webite:
36 states plus 1 from China and 2 from Canada are represented.

Highlights By State
NJ - 40
NY - 34
FL - 30
PA - 30

44% of the dealers are from those 4 states

34% are (104 dealers) from NJ/NY/PA

If you add in the 15 from VA, then the top 5 states represent 50% of the dealers.

The top 12 states represent 75% of the dealers
The top 20 cover 90% of the dealers

I have a half dozen upgrades that I am looking for to competely upgrade my 54 & 55 sets. If I find a really nice 55 & 54 Bowman set at a value, I might take the plunge on those. However, my experience has been that I usually don't find a lot of great deals at this show - especially on Thursday. At any rate, I enjoy walking the floor with my boys - as the $20 admission is akin to admission at Cooperstown to look at the awesome pieces on display. If I can get my submissions graded without waiting 2 hours in line and avoid shipping/insurance, then admission will pay for itself.

If you need me to scout the floor for you or get any pictures, hit me up on PM and I will do what I can to hunt it down for you. I have already highlighted familiar Net54 names on the dealer sheet and I will make a point to see your material.

Looking forward to it!

Brand new acquisitions that I will be bringing to the show: Picked up 700 to 1,000 1963 Topps Baseball Peel offs. Have quantity on many numbers. Check with me if you are looking for quantity of a player, with or without text on the back or blank backs. I will have both with me, but if you want quantity, check with me to see if I have enough to cover your needs at the show. Dealer and collector discounts. Several HOF stars, semi stars and commons. Almost 100% are gradable.

Also, picked up 1956 T and 1959 T baseball sets; sets are nice and I can cut you a deal.

You can find me, along with Kevin Keating's fabulous autographs, at #s 1901-1905. I've pulled some really primo Walter material from my collection and from the estate, including a gorgeous S-81 silk and some postcards, photos, and other items originating from his scrapbooks.

I will be sharing Booth 900 (with Les Wolff) from Wed. thru Fri. and my son Scott will be joining me Wed & Fri.
Please stop by to say hello and check out our collection.
We will have Cobb/Cobb, Plank(s), Magie and the rest of the set. Plus a 1952 Topps partial signed set about 70% complete (if you have the Mantle, tough Hi # and early deceased bring them by), also a '52 signed starter set at a great price.
Many T206 errors, misprints, missing colors and singles, t205 & T207 spectacular cards plus others from the same era.
Some very popular Basketball, Football, Hockey - magazines/non-sports sets & more.

I would like very much for you to hold all of your signed T206s until I have had a chance to look at them on Saturday.

Forget to bring our signed Livingston T206

Really enjoyed opening day at the show. Saw so many folks that I've dealt with over the years.

The best moment
Chris Browne, Adam Goldenberg, Johnnie V and Pete Gustafson all appear at once time - It as like a T206 addicts anonymous reunion. Fantastic!

The "best sellers"
Surprisingly 1986-87 basketball. I can't believe how many folks wanted to buy my cards (or maybe I priced them too cheaply). Also 1952 topps and bowman signed cards were hot. Honorable mention to a lot of people who wanted our Ruth-Cobb-Speaker ball and Magie error - just not at our prices

My favorite quirky moment so far...
I put out a "show special" 48 1958 topps cards including around 10 HOFers for $40. By any measure it was a good buy. So this guy flips through them a bit, contemplates it a bit more and then puts down the stack. I casually ask him if there was something in particular he was looking for. To which he replies "filling a few slots in my '58 set'. Being a collector, I empathize and say, why don't you pull out the ones you need and I'll break the lot and sell them to you individually. He smiles, flips through the lot and pulls out 5 cards. I ask him if he needs those cards, he replies yes...but he's not looking to buy them right now.

As he walks away two funny things happen, his wife starts berating him telling him that he's so weird and asking why would he waste his time and my time. Well said dear lady - precisely what I was thinking. The second was a dealer who was watching him thumb through the stack rapidly whips out $40 and scoops the lot without saying a word.

Enjoy the national!!
