J. Paul's Pittsburgh Show

[bcbgcbrcb]

Sounds like a fun show to attend. Every year, I debate it but have not made it there once yet, mainly due to the 7 hour drive for me.

I was debating going yesterday, but ended up not.

Hi Andy

I went to this show today for the first time and had a very enjoyable day. I picked up a few cards and a nice photo (posted in Memorabilia-photo opinion thread) along with this little gem below. There was a good customer turn out in my opinion. The autograph guests were probably a big factor for that. I had the chance to meet & talk to some board members for the first time. All of them were really nice guys and I enjoyed talking with them. All in all, I think it was worth the trip and would go to it again.

Being a former Infantry soldier, this "little cigar" guy made my day. I never knew this card was out there. The card is a die-cut and can be stood up.

Jantz,

Glad you had a good time! I am leaving for Pitt at 6 AM and looking forward to it. Cool soldier card! I hope there are some nice pickups left on the last day.

Best,

Andy

and did pretty well, although most post-war $1-5 set needs I did notice a smattering of pre-war and bought a couple low grade (from Ken Cohen). I would say you should go if you can

I went to the show on Friday with Tom Boblitt and my son Mitch. We drove from Louisville on Friday and came home Saturday morning. It was the first time I had been to the show in several years. I had a good time and was able to pick up a T206 McGraw, a BF2 Archer, an E101 Magee, and an E90-1 Joss. I got the Joss from Ken Cohen.

to the Net54ers who stopped by my table and chatted (Tom, Brian, Pat, Mike, Jantz). Please forgive me if I omitted someone. This show is my favorite of those I attend. Lots of serious collectors who love to talk cardboard. It's the overall most congenial atmosphere of any show that I attend. The 1960 WS event was an added bonus. I had the pleasure of wonderful conversations with Dick Groat, Ryne Duran, and Hector Lopez - fine gentlemen all.

I've already reserved my table for next year.
