Second Annual Mid-Atlantic Trade Day & Get Together

[notfast]

Are the majority of people setting up a showcase of some sort? Or just walking around being social.

Looking forward to this for sure.

Weird request, I need a 1970 Topps Nolan Ryan to finish a set. Decent eye appeal is more important than the technical grade. If anyone has one in the $200 neighborhood and wouldn't mind bringing such a new card to the event I'd be appreciative!

Matt, last year there was a mix. Some people set up with a display case, some just laid their cards out on a table, and some walked around with a box of cards. Whatever works for you is fine.

Just wanted to reiterate a few things for Saturday:

The event, which runs from 11am to 5pm, is free to attend. We will be accepting voluntary donations at the door for Wolf Trap Animal Rescue (www.wtarescue.com), a local non-profit organization that saves dogs and cats that would otherwise be euthanized.

A formal card display is absolutely not necessary, and plenty of people last year just brought a box of cards and walked around. It is fine to come even if you don’t bring any cards, but I would encourage you to bring something from your collection. Trading, buying, selling - all fine - or just show your collection so we can all see some cool cards.

There will be a beverage station with water, iced tea, and lemonade. Those drinks will be free. Alcoholic beverages and food can be purchased from the restaurant and bar. Everyone will have their own bill/tab. IMO, the food is pretty good. Here is a link to the menu... https://www.1757golfclub.com/_fileli...ing-2216-1.pdf

The event will take place in the Monroe Room (approx. 1680 sf). Last year, the space was sufficient, and we were able to spread out a bit once we had an idea of how many people would be showing up. For those of you that do want to set up a display, I expect that everyone should have room for up to two display cases (or equivalent). We will do our best to make adjustments as necessary to ensure that everyone has space. Table location will be on a first come/first served basis. Please watch your cards at all times.

When you arrive at 1757 (45120 Waxpool Road, Dulles, VA), there will be plenty of parking in front of the clubhouse. Use the main entrance (photo posted earlier in this thread) and take a left once you are in the clubhouse. You will see the Monroe Room on your right.

Name tags will be available, and are recommended, since many of us may only know names and/orNet54 profile names, but not faces.

I will try to take some video and photos to post here for those of you that are unable to attend.

See you on Saturday!

Andrew

This is the display case that I brought last year. I will probably do the same thing this year, but with some different cards.

Have fun! Sorry I can’t make it…share lots of photos.

I will have two showcases with some great old WaJo and Washington material, probably in addition to a couple boxes of memorabilia of different kinds. Also copies of my WaJo bio to sign and sell. But I'm also bringing a buddy to watch my table so I can walk around and ogle the eye candy and talk to collectors about their stuff. In addition, I'd be thrilled if I found something to buy.

En route! Couldn't decide what to bring, so I basically packed my entire collection. Seemed more efficient.

I can't wait to come up and see everyone Saturday! You guys are all the best of the best.
