Who is going to the Philly Show on Dec 1-3?

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

We will also be looking for consignments for our Hershey and Parsippany auctions.

One of the big advantages we can provide you over larger auction houses, in addition to buyers actually holding your card in their hand at preview, and the excitement and competition that the live only format fosters, is the fact that we aren't looking for only $1000 or even $250 lots. If you've got a bunch of $50 T206's, or 1950's stars we will sell them individually, and that will almost always net you more money than blowing them out in a big group lot, even at the best auction houses.

If nothing else, come by and chat, I am almost always alone at my booth (710) so I don't get to socialize much!

I loved it. And the fact that it's at a casino and I can walk upstairs and blow even more money before heading to my car is a major plus in my book.

(Bizarre casino, as half the tables are some crazy card game I have never seen in Vegas or AC.)

I have been going to this Philly show since the Motor Lodge days and followed the show to Ft. Washington and then Reading and now to King of Prussia. I used to stay overnight on occasion at the Ft. Washington show because I needed 2 days to get through the whole show.

Last year's show (December 2016) was the last one that I attended. That show was really disappointing. The Friday that I was there was probably the worst Friday I've ever been to at this show. The number of dealers was significantly down from previous shows. There was a table with lounge chairs in the middle of the show where 2 or 3 tables could have been. Plus, there were tables with the dealer's name tag, but no one there. I don't know if they were bringing their cards on Saturday and/or Sunday. It seemed that there was a lot of open space where tables had been in previous shows.

I have heard that the show has gotten significantly better, so I'm really looking forward to going this Friday !!!

In general, I think the December show has less of a turnout. People are busy with the holidays and it just seems that this show has a weaker turnout. I might skip this one.
