Chantilly (VA) Show - June 23-25

[bcbgcbrcb]

This is the first "regional size" card show that I will be attending since COVID began back in early 2020 except for the 2022 National in my old stomping grounds in AC, New Jersey. Anyone else going to be there and might want to meet up at some point? I will be there all three days.

Can anyone confirm if on-site autograph authentication will be available for non-sport/non-show obtained signatures? Lastly, does on-site authentication typically happen in real time or is the item left with the TPA (Beckett) and later returned/mailed back?

Thanks for any/all input

I think JSA does on-site authentication.

In the past Beckett would take it back to Texas and then mail back to you

CAS will definitely be there. JSA and Beckett are usually there.

Hi Alan:

I would imagine a dinner meet-up would work best on Saturday evening. I am not familiar with the area at all and am operating on a shoestring budget so maybe a local pizzeria or something like that?

Hi Scott:

I will be sure to stop by your table and say hello.

Hooters is right across from the parking lot.

Many thanks to Tom B for the deal. Been looking for one of these for a while now

Opening day at the show today, my first time attending here. I believe there were more than double the number of modern booths as compared to vintage, maybe more like 3:1. Prices on the vintage cards weren’t outrageous but, with that being said, there didn’t seem to be a lot of room for negotiation at most tables. William Chappell had lots of good stuff and fair prices across the board. Heading back tomorrow for Day 2.

packed Friday and today (Saturday)

Lots of good stuff in the room.

Glad to see so many friendly faces.

Will be back tomorrow for a few hours

Fun show today. Loved meeting Steve Garvey and getting my gamer signed.

I had a really good 3 days at this show.

Here are the pick ups

Sounds like a good show. Had the whole family in town this weekend - a rare occurrence these days - so had to stay close.

I was with my wife so I couldn’t be as casual. Best thing was a 1970 Bob Hayes glossy insert centered and unbubbled for $5. Completes a meaningless but sentimental set. Murder to find on eBay and even the 22 National. Worked on some 59s. Miss the days when this was in Richmond 15 minutes from my house and how they used to go into the 400s on autograph tickets.
