Nah you should just come to the east coast and visit. Much more fun on this side of the country :-D

That he was no longer going to be setting up at this show; thus no post from him to publicize.

And looking at the show line up it's a far cry from what it was when Bob S was running the show a few years ago with maybe 1-2 players a day at the most singing autographs.

If this was the 80's, I'd be on my way to the George Washington Motor lodge right now at 7am. Bob Thing would have stayed at our house last night and we'd have a nice breakfast and head to the Philly area stopping at many card shops along the way!
One of our favorite stores was in CT owned by Neal, a famous Mantle, Howdy Doody, JFK and Marilyn collector and expert! I can't remember his last name but you must know him!
At least we have the love for our great community here o Net54!
Have a great weekend everyone,
Bill Hedin

Neil Sakow, who later had the American Dream Museum. He was a very good friend of mine. Sadly, Neil's health has declined from what I hear, and I haven't seen him in a long time.

Here is the Link, I hope it works

It's April 15-17, 2011

The dealer list is on the website, and SGC will be there for on-site grading.

I believe SGC is no longer doing on-site grading at Valley Forge. Can anyone confirm this?

How long are the autograph lines? I was going to mail order a couple of items, but there was a $5 mail fee & a $10 fee to return my item.

First off, SGC is not doing onsite grading at this show. I am not happy about this.

Second, it was quite today and the show is even a bit smaller then the Dec show.

Third, as far as pre war dealers there is more that at the westcester show, however overall at this point it is probably a smaller show.

As for the autograph lines, the flyers they had today seemed to go pretty fast, it really just depends on the person.

Like many others, I will be skipping this one and attending the Oaks Show in April. I already took the day off from work on Friday, April 15.
