I really enjoyed meeting and hanging out with many members from net54 and the YouTube vintage sector. The venue was better laid out and more spacious than previous, the show was solid but I felt a little underwhelmed this year. I always enjoy my time catching up with Joe T from Memory Lane and fellow collectors the most.

Why was the show just OK and/or underwhelmed ? Not enough vintage ? Too much of the shiny stuff ?

It wasn’t bad by any means. It’s a vintage only show so I didn’t have to see the shiny stuff thankfully. Some of the personal collections I saw there were museumesque and hard to top by the dealers inventory.

I came home with several goodies, but I agree the material was, as a whole, slightly underwhelming. It felt very 50’s/60’s heavy to me. I’d say maybe only a dozen or so tables focused on prewar, and prices were robust for the most part. There are several things I’ll be pulling the trigger on on ebay this week because even with tax and shipping it’s still significantly cheaper. There were also many tables that were Cleveland-focused which didn’t appeal to me at all.

As mentioned, the conversations and hang-outs were the best part. I saw some old friends and made a couple more, so in that regard it was great. I just wish I hadn’t come home with all this money.

Raw cards were definitely in demand at the show. Graded cards, well, not so much. Are raws coming back in favor now?
