King of Prussia, PA Show (Dec. 2-4)

If Hunt is saying "either you do my show or the show in Oaks but if you do Oaks we don't want you setting up here", this may be the end of Hunt's show in Valley Forge. I've heard that Hunt (at least when he first took over) was charging almost double what was being charged when Bob Schmierer was running the show. (the table fees may be because of what the site is charging Hunt, but possibly other, less expensive sites are available if he looks around the area). I hope he re-evaluates his business plan. I've liked going to shows because it provides face to face interaction in making deals and socializing with friends in the hobby.

This might be the beginning of the end for Hunt's Philly show.

I just hope that any division of dealers between Hunt and Oaks doesn't wind up sinking both shows.

This show has gone from being a not to miss event if you lived within a couple hours driving distance to a complete waste of time. This show basically got myself and a couple buddies back into the hobby when we learned about it 5-6 years ago ( used to be in Reading ) Used to be well attended, lots of reasonably priced dealers, etc... I would get excited about this show a week out back in the day. No more, and as my friend commented last time "707 doesn't even have his large display." This show used to completely trump the White Plains show. Many people ( at least in the New Jersey area ) now feel the White Plains show is better. Really an absolute shame, this show is a shell of what it used to be. I realize that it might be different for me as I couldn't care less about autograph guests, etc.
