Philly Show

Show apparently was somewhere between impressive, terrible and pretty typical.

If you are used to the old philly show this model was down right pathetic but If you are comparing it to your average mall show it was impressive. That said attendance seemed decent. Pricing was typical show pricing but like I say if they just wanted eBay auction prices they would be on eBay in an auction. I unfortunately did not feel the greatest so I was only there a very short time. Spoke to some old friends and got out of there. If I missed anyone it wasn't personal I just did not feel well.

Jokes aside, I drove down today and really liked it. A lot of interesting prewar stuff. Spent a few hours wandering around, bought a few nice additions to my Gehrig collection, and won a few shekhels in the casino. And watched some football and had a great bloody mary to boot. A good day.

I think we met then, I had a guy looking for Gehrig stuff but he did spend a little time looking at my other prewar. I was booth 710 with all the blond wood showcases.

Damm, I would introduced myself if I saw it was you. Very sorry about that. Great card you send me a few days ago. Next time I will say hello.

I wont attend the December show anymore and to be honest, I think the way its currently run, I hope that its doesn't close. I'd love to see Hunt downsize the show, and bring it back to the Old Willow Grove type show. While I know that will never happen, the dealers that I spoke with were not happy and expressed it when asked.

I am hoping this show turns around. It has been losing quality dealers since its takeover. Maybe they will offer discounted table fees for an upcoming show to see if they can generate some interest from dealers who have said they will never return?????

I live 45 minutes away and have not done it in years for many of the reasons discussed in previous threads about this show.
