San Francisco (Cow Palace) Collectors Show - May 14 - 16

To be able to see and examine a card in person is always worth a little extra to me. Add that to the opportunity to see things that you just don't see everyday - who doesn't love a good card show?

richard's inventory is well worth the price of admisson by itself...the chance to see rman/wes/me in person will be well worth any drive <10hrs***. we will enlighten you with our hobby knowledge, and belittle all the flaws on your card purchases not bought from rman for free. (we can also laugh at rman's 1990's shiny refractors)



***can't confirm wes, but i will be a no show

Hey Richard, are you going to have a table set up? If so I would like to stop and say hi.

I can't believe the prices of the autograph guests. $150 for Cal Ripken? I remember years ago when I was a kid at the Gloria Rothstein shows the only guests charging $100 were Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle all pretty near death. Cal Ripken was a good player, but he's young, available, and signs a ton of crap. What could possibly make his autograph that expensive?

$150 is the entry level price. If you have a bat or jersey then you have to pony up $249. Oh and an extra $50 if you want an inscription, up to 5 words or personalization.

I think the price is higher for Cal because in addition to getting an item signed, you also get to have a picture taken with him using your own camera.

I will have a table there - it will be my first time setting up at a major show.

Q is a bit misleading about my 1990's finest refractors. I will not be brining them as I only sell my prewar baseball to fund my shiny purchases - not the other way around.
