It's basically the same show. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but Inside Pitch Promotions used to host about a half-dozen shows each year in the Kerr Scott building. I think they "sold" two of the shows to Tidewater Cards a couple years ago, and then "sold" two more of the shows to Oak City Sports Cards. Inside Pitch still advertises the shows, and I don't know exactly what the owner/promoter relationship is or how it works, but the shows are still going on with basically the same schedule as they have for the past 10+ years.

In the last couple years they've been trying a few different venues at the fairgrounds in addition to the Kerr Scott building. They've been in the Holshouser building, and there was even a show in Dorton Arena last month. This will be the first one in the Expo Center. Some of the shows are just sports cards; others are toys/pokemon/comics; some are a mix of both. This one is a mix, but supposedly 2/3 of the 300+ tables are going to be sports cards. It's always hit-or-miss with prewar and good vintage, but there was a lot of it at the December show, including a couple really impressive tables (that were unfortunately way overpriced).

Dan - Brickhouse at 11:30 sounds great...been a while since I've been there.....Look forward to meeting everyone....I've had the pleasure of meeting Dan and have communicated with Al quite a bit on pins, so hope you can make it Al to finally meet in person!

Looks like somewhat of a washout on Saturday, so it's a great day for a card show.....

Here's a link to the Promoter's website and Raleigh show if anyone is interested....

Hey guys! I plan on going to the show when they open on Saturday morning, but unfortunately I don't think I can make the lunch. If anyone else on here plans on being an early bird, let me know because I'd like to meet!

If I was still in Eastern NC I would have been there for lunch I lived just outside of Greenville and been at the flea market and fair grounds quite a bit

Great time! Pleasure meeting all of you! Lunch was great and the conversation and laughs were even better…..

As I was leaving, someone walked in looking to sell a ‘33 Goudey Gehrig PSA 9…..snagged it for $75…..wish you guys could have seen it!

Great day and I found a few things I wanted at the show. Much more of a blessing was meeting new friends and talking to fellow board members. Thanks again Dan for getting this going.
