Hope all is well, Ted. It was nice meeting up with several other board members today - and the show actually had a decent amount of vintage stuff as compared to previous spring shows, so a good time all around!

Thx for meet up and great card talk today guys. Damn Alan and that scrapbook, WOW!!! Had the bar been open, I would have stuck around a bit longer. Always a pleasure to see you Scott, Alan Jim and Steve. Sorry if I mess up meeting you guys, I'm better with faces on cards than faces on people. Great to do some business with Heritage and Hunt's also.

Bill Russell walked right by me, he still looks great. My son asked who he is, he now has a couple of books to read and learn.

Totals for the day:

Gas...42.00
Tolls..9.00
Food for my son...11.00
Drive time...5.5 hrs
Total spent on cards........ZERO.

Lesson learned.......This is the only major show close to the northern part of New England, bring stuff that might appeal to the natives. 3 dealers said they had stuff I might be interested in, but didn't bring it with them.

I realize the expense of bring the inventory and dealers want to bring high profit items, however, there are a quite a few nitche collectors up here in the cold.

I would very much like to know from the dealers here if they tweak their inventory that they bring to shows by location.

Thanks guys, Rawn

Just got back.. met a couple net 54 board members, saw some beautiful pieces. Fair amount of vintage, a lot of Boston, and surprisingly a lot of yankees. Saw PSA, BGS, JSA, and several aucion houses previewing. Forget which one it was, but had 3 type 1 shoeless joe pics coming up, very nice. Also saw a 1930's gamme used Yankee hat for $4500, beautiful condition, but my wife would have killed me..... Worth the 2 hour ride just to see some nice items.....

Great point, Rawn - if dealers are going to a show in the Boston area, why not bring any and all Boston-related items you have?

They're more likely to sell that than the random 1950s Cardinals programs they've probably trucked all over the country for a decade...

Tis' a shame....I cannot understand dealers, who do not bring stuff to a show that they told you they would.

When I set up at the shows in the Philly area, I bring all the stuff I have that is Philadelphia A's & Phillies related.

When I set up at the Cooperstown Show on HOF weekend, I bring an eclectic collection of stuff (cards & memorabilia)
because a wide variety of collectors from different parts of the country visit. And, of course, depending on what team
the HOF inductee(s) played for.

Setting up at the National, I bring as large a collection of cards as I can stuff into my carrying case.
