"The Philly Show" at Valley Forge Casino September 22-24 Announcement

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

As a dealer it was a super solid show for me, and that's with my weakest inventory in a LONG time, can't wait until I can bring some good stuff again! Thanks to all the great customers and of course to Joe Drelich!

Thoroughly enjoyed the show. Made a few pick-ups that I am very pleased with (photos in "September Pickups" thread), and really enjoyed talking with fellow pre-war enthusiasts. Overall, I thought that the selection of quality pre-war cards was good. Found John Montefusco and Bobby Shantz cards at Uncle Dick's and grabbed the free autographs for my kids (Montefusco on Friday and Shantz on Sunday). Both were friendly and talkative, and happy to accommodate inscription requests and pose for photos. Not really my thing, but there seemed to be a very good selection of raw and graded 50's and 60's stuff as well as modern. Looking forward to Chantilly.

Really wanted to go but a family medical situation intervened. Bummed. Like that show.

Nothing serious, I hope. Family first, then cards! Chantilly is only a few weeks away...

I just wanted to say thank you to the Net54 family of dealers and collectors ! The Philly show greatly appreciates your support. I'm proud to say we had many people use the 1/2 off Friday discount. We will continue to offer specials for the Net54 community at our future events. Our next show is December 1st-3rd.

A special congrats goes out to Val for winning his first door prize, a Mike Mamula signed 8 x 10 ! I believe his quote was " This and 2 bucks might get me a cup of coffee". What can I say Val, maybe next time it will be a T206 Ty Cobb...

The crowds were strong on Friday and Saturday, Sunday the foot traffic was a little lighter, however that was to be expected as The Eagles had there home opener at 1pm against the Giants.

I'm excited for the future of the show and for our hobby.

Hope to see you all in December. Feel free to email me with any questions about the show.
