2024 Strongsville Sports Collectors Convention

[conor912]

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.

Hopefully you visited our tables and know where to spend some of that next month!

This is pretty much how I feel as well. If you were a post war raw set collector, you were in heaven. I do pre war non sports as well as pre war baseball. I didn’t see a single n76 card in the room. That’s an extremely popular and hot set so seeing none was disappointing. I also was trying to track down another t205 Cobb. I saw 3 (besides the 3-4 that Ash had and I saw at Chantilly two weeks ago.) Maybe my expectations were higher but I figured I’d see more t205 cobbs at the “premier vintage show”

N76s are hot. You might have better luck at the Philly Non Sports show in May.

Understandable but that was just an example. Majority of people I was with felt the same way. Show was underwhelming but the social aspect made up for it.

They had more dealers right? Did you think the dealer quality wasn't good? or just the pricing of the cards?
