Anyone going to Philadelphia show?

I spoke with a couple of folks who went to the show. They said the original venue was not useable due to a water damage and they moved it to a location where only 50+ dealers could set up.

I know it's hard to care about anyone else's troubles, but Joe Drelich got a huge shit sandwich and made the best out of it. Can you imagine if, as the promoter, you lost the venue to one of the largest shows in the country on 4 weeks notice? It's a miracle there was a show at all, and that he managed to squeeze in the dealers he did. I;m one of the dealers who got bumped, but I went down anyway and, yes things were tight, but he had a lot of the best dealers there in addition to the PSA, SGC, and Beckett. Was it ideal? No. Was it a minor miracle in it's own right that still had plenty of pre war stuff I enjoy? Yup.

I was at the show. It was much smaller than normal due to the change in locations, but still happy I went. I was able to make submissions to TPGs, consign some material to auction, and even find a couple of nice cards....including a C-46 from T-Rex and a more-than-decent T206 Doc Adkins.

Highlight was definitely being able to chat with several familiar faces. At the top of the list was Ted, thanks for your time Ted! Those vintage card conversations made the trip worth it for me!
