Quick Chantilly Review

[bbcard1]

I didn't go this show because of family obligations, but I always shop, chat with Chandy Greenholt, buy a few things from bargain boxes and spend most of my money with William Chappel.

CSA is a good show. Usually very organized. It is more of an autograph extravaganza but I think the dealers do okay. I saw Mr. Mint there once, front an center but I guess nothing major walked in, because he never returned. Same with 707 cards, I only saw them there once maybe twice. The new crew is heavy on the football guests (which I understand) but a show date outside of the baseball season is sorely needed.

As I understand it, themed football gatherings are the closest thing to guaranteed money.

Cowboys and Steelers fans do come out in droves. Football is clearly king. All I ask is that the promoter throws the baseball collectors a decent bone or two. The previous owner (Marco) did a great job of managing to get the current induction class to appear during the year.

I very much liked the reconfiguration Joe D. did of the floor space where the dealers set up. It gave this area a somewhat new, refreshed look. IMHO, the old configuration had grown stale. I only attend on the Fridays, so I don't pay attention to the floor area set up for the weekend guest signers.

Well Val, prepare for major change next year.
