Philly Show this weekend...

Dan:

Based on my experience of attending every Philly & White Plains show held over the past 5+ years, I believe the plus side for you in doing the White Plains show is that you will have far less pre-war dealers to compete with, especially on the scarcer material like I know you carry. I guess the minus side is that many pre-war collectors already know this and may not frequent the White Plains show nearly as much as the Philly show.

I will be at the show Friday and most of Saturday.

Dan--You can't leave this show. Besides, it's a longer drive to White Plains, you'll develop an even greater thirst, and that could be dangerous!

Cheers,
Mike

Might have some work to take care of Friday but will be there all day Saturday and Suday set up with Ted Z...

I agree with Dan. I wish it was still in Reading. But, I understand that Hunts wanted it closer to Philly. I wonder if this show is still the same quality as it was in the old Ft. Washington expo center a few years ago. I would normally go to this show, but it is too close to Yom Kippur.

While Reading was off the beaten path for most, I really enjoyed the show being there--I used to live 20 minutes up the road!

I have to agree with Phil's points on setting up with vintage at White Plains. Aside from the ECN show, there is a greater focus on modern material. I can imagine that my vintage autograph inventory would be ignored by collectors all scurrying around the venue in search of the cheapest Jeter or ARod
8X10. That show was rife with bad autographed modern-day material (as well as a ton of authentically-signed merchandise).

WOW! thanks guys, you saved me from doing the White Plains show. Terry Knouse suggested I do it but if it is shiny crap driven, forget it!

I am done with Philly, no way is it of the caliber of the old Fort Washington or Willow Grove shows.

And 3 a year when I am paying National prices???

Wrong answer.

Me and my JUNK will just go away and hide for the years to come.

Thanks for all of the killer support I have received from board members and others!! It was a great hobby for many years and though I do not agree with the grading part of it, it is still a serious hobby.

Enjoy
Dan

I'll be there Saturday & Sunday buying vintage for resell. I have a few favorite dealers that I always stop by where they work with me. Always looking for new contacts.
This is my 6th Phillly show. Not counting the National, this is my favorite.

Hope to see you there!
