Fanatics Fanfest And East Coast National Same weekend

[mikecala98]

Tons of free tickets being given out for all of the days. If you want to go and save the $58 just look around. This thing is NOT close to sold out.

Plus, there is a 400 table show south of Pittsburgh this same weekend. Does anyone know about this show ? Is it just the shiny stuff ? Any vintage ? Thx !!!

I went to the ECN yesterday and if you are looking for vintage stuff, it is a happy hunting ground. I found a wide array of materials and ended up with some early Los Angeles Dodgers materials that I have never seen before in 40+ years of attending Los Angeles-area shows.

I attended the EAst Coast National and had a great time. Talked With a couple Net54 members ..sorry I missed Adam... but lots of great cards auto's light on programs but I went with a ticket collector and he got a couple gems. Highly recommended if you have time this weekend. I imagine the show is packed today as weather looks like rain.

My son and I went today and we had a blast; tons of vintage, awesome show.

Fanfest was the exact opposite: 90%+ modern cards, barely any prewar, grotesquely high prices.

Adam, would love to see some photos of your finds from the show. When I lived back east, I went to the Rothstein shows there and seldom found anything relating to LA Dodgers.

Adam, very cool. Never seen that stationary before. I wonder how long the Dodgers maintained the office in Brooklyn after moving to LA.

I've been trying to figure that out but no research success so far.

The building was demolished in 1958, and then was replaced by a four-story building occupied by banks.

Are you talking about Fanfest? Where/how were they given out?

In any case, I probably wouldn't have gone. I saw Fanfest as a big cash grab, and the Mets were playing at home that weekend. (I went to two of the three games, including Severino's complete game shutout).
