Philly Show Update

[YankeeCollector]

I drove down with a friend yesterday from NY and there was a lot of empty exhibition space in the room. The dealers that I spoke to were very happy with their sales and I got to see a few preview items in upcoming auctions like Mile High. There were quite of few modern dealers as well.

I was happy to pick up a rare Ruth card

I was there for a while yesterday. A lot better than the last Oaks show. Lots of people, probably because there was no Eagles game. A lot of decent autographs. While waiting to get in the show at 10, I had to fight the urge to turn around and give a couple guys behind me a piece of my mind. They were running their mouths, talking crap about card collectors and guys who were carrying boxes of cards. Piss off, a-holes.

Picked up a T206 Reulbach (glove variation) and T201 Evers/Chance double folder. Awesome follow up to my T200 Cubs I picked up at the Oaks show.

Any great ideas to help the Oaks shows? I know that there has been money spent doing that ads...why do you think the traffic has been so light? Admission is cheaper and the first two shows have had Vick and Rollins.

How much were they paying people to take Vick's autograph? I certainly wouldnt pay anything for it!!!
