Anybody go to the Hofstra Show this weekend?

I went on Sunday, and managed to get a few cards closer to completing my 1958 Topps set.

This is one that I try to go to, because it is a half hour drive for me and is the biggest one on Loing Island. They have it each April (sometimes late march) and October.

I did not see much prewar stuff there this time, but then I didn't see everything either (knee acting up and pain limited me to about an hour there).

In April, there was more prewar stuff there than this weekend. In fact I am pretty sure that there was more of everything there in April.

Went on Sunday. Have gone to the last few Hofstra shows. I noticed at least 2 pre-war dealers that are usually there that weren't this time and another 2 seemed to have smaller displays. One dealer said that Saturday was much better. Was able to find some Obaks and a few other things, but not as much pre-war there as usual.

Looked like a few of the dealers of shiny stuff that are usually there were missing as well.

Yes, I noticed too there were missing dealers. Also, not a lot of business transactions either. Amazing how in the 7 years I have been going to the Hofstra show it has changed. Much less new stuff (which I guess is good since no one seems to collect new stuff). The show is a gGreat way to spend an afternoon and there were really great items there as always.

I went on Saturday. Managed to pick up a few new T206 and submit to SGC. I was in Brooklyn for a wedding, so it was definitely worth going. I thought it was pretty good. The dealers I bought from were friendly and willing to work on prices, and most shows I go to in CA don't have nearly as many pre-war dealers at them.
