Front Row Show in Las Vegas

[BobbyVCP]

Anybody setting up or attending the Vegas Front Row show this coming weekend? Looks like a decent size with 500 tables..

If you are there come by theVCP booth M16 and say hello..

Not Vegas but will be at the one in SD over Memorial Day Weekend....if anyone is selling drop a note...SD is notoriously and historically awful for vintage unfortunately ....so hopeful we get some new blood setting up

Front Row always draws a good crowd. Vegas may be tough because of a huge music festival on the same day. At times there is a lack of vintage vendors, but overall a well run show.

Not Vegas but will be at the 2 day Pasadena, CA event in June.

Here at the show now and line was a mile long to get in...
anyone in Vegas coming there is a really good seller in Row M across from us selling some nice CJ, Goudey, T206 etc...really clean broken sets 55-65 really nice. Collection that was in a safe for 40 years in Florida

So if you get a chance worth checking out

Bobby, if you get a chance try to get some of the vintage dealers to sign-up for the West Coast Card Show in August at the Anaheim Convention Center. I was at the Regional Show today and they had a table signing dealers up, so I know tables are still available.

Vendor name?

I did not get his name he just wore a Minnesota Gopher hat so guessing that should tell someone who he is and now the show is over so cant ask

Overall a good show twice as big as Pasadena but think not as many people overall showed up. There is I am guessing about 40 sellers here with some sort of vintage

Compared to most San Diego shows...which have ramped up greatly in the last few years...that is about 39 more than usual!

Went today...early entry...was in line at 9:30 (for 10 open) and probably 300 people in fron of me....500++++ behind me at least. Left around 1:30 as I was just beat from heading out at 6:30 for anpther sale. I saw at least 3 tables with 1-2 showcases full of pre-war....I think I saw a 4th.....and as I was leaving... the dealer I was finalizing a transaction with bought a fat stack of Aarons, Mays and other mega stars from the 50's...including a Banks RC.

There was a decnt amount of vintage...maybe 25%?...40% sports cards...the remaining 35% Pokemon and whatnot. I will head out toorrow as well.

Can't commment on pre war prices...but saw some early 50s RCs swapping...and the 54s and 57s I was hunting for (graded) were all slightly to grossly above recent comps..basically asking a grade above pricing...some wiggle but some not worth even asking.

Glad there is some vintage there, the last Front Row show I attended (Pasadena) was at least 80% Pokémon and virtually no pre-war vintage.

Big Front Row show (in Pasadena again) next month, we’ll see…
