The Philly Show is back

[1954 topps]

Am I the only one not comfortable going back to shows yet? Everyone touching the same stuff, crammed in close at the tables, no masks. I dunno I feel it’s too soon and with prices likely to be exceeding high I doubt I’ll be missing much.

No Fear.... I know I'm probably in the minority but I have confidence in the vaccine that I received.

I agree with you. It was very unlikely you would get covid anyway but now that small risk is 95%+ less... As I have said recently after my vaccine, I am not wearing a mask any longer because anyone that wants to get vaccinated can. If they don't it doesn't bother me at all. My daughter and her husband still haven't gotten theirs. They are well informed, and even though I think they should, it's not a big deal to me. They know the risks. And who says in the long term there couldn't be some side effects. But I am very comfortable getting the vaccine and think everyone really should. I am just not that argumentative about it any longer.

Back to topic, I am happy to have the Philly Show back and will no doubt do one in the future. Their advertising on our forum is very much appreciated too!

Great news the Philly show is ready to rock. It is one I remember well. Any news from the Windy City about the National's status, or I may be well behind the times here

My son moved to Easton PA about a year ago. I'm actually gonna be up there visiting the weekend of the show. First time to see his place as I just started flying again since Covid. It's a 1.5 hour drive but my son said we might make it happen

Just wondering how does the Chantilly show compare with the Philly Show? I wont be able to get to Philly, but I think Chantilly.

I have never been to Chantilly; however, the Philly Show is local for me and I've been there many times.

In the past, it has taken up the entire basement floor of a rather large hotel/casino. Think of a square city block with regard to space. Ordinarily, there are hundreds of dealers and easily 1,000 plus people.

It's a big show.

This time around, it's in the same venue. I don't know how the recent pandemic will impact attendance. If I'm reading the tea leaves correctly, though, it will be well attended. Southeastern PA has a large collector base, and the people are likely to show up in large numbers.
