West Palm Beach Card Show
Much to my delight and amazement, there is going to be a card show this weekend at the WPB Convention Center. I only learned about it a couple of days ago from a card-guy neighbor who said he learned there were going to be in excess of 400 tables. We are planing on going on Saturday, and I will try to report if it is worth the effort.

Looks like a good show. There was a nice variety. I wish I had known about the show, I may have driven down for it.
There is also a nice monthly show in Apopka just north of Orlando. It also had a nice selection of sports cards both vintage and modern. |

I didn't attend due a stinking cold, but my neighbor did and he reported is was almost all modern, although a couple of tables had beat up tobacco cards.

Definitely busier Friday and Saturday. I dont have another card show experience to draw upon, but it felt like it was underwhelming according to what the marketing for the show had advertised. I was not able to go most of Sunday, due to church, so I believe I missed the only substantial group that was there at 9 AM or so. Only 2.5% of my sales occurred on Sunday.
Overall, I had a lot of interest from what would have been brand new vintage collectors, but its hard for people to pull the trigger on brand new things. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nate, your cases alone would have made me attend except for the flu I am still battling. My neighbor must have missed them but he is more a junk wax guy anyhow. I live in Palm Beach Gardens and have been pinning for a WPB show forever. I am sure another show at the convention Center would be be successful if the material was more varied, read more vintage and pre-war.

Very sorry to hear that John. I hope you feel better very soon.
This show was 100% meant to be a learning experience for me, and I honestly had dreaded the show simply because I didn’t know what to expect. Now that I have that one under my belt, I know exactly what to expect and how to plan. The next time there is a show, I will singlehandedly make sure there is a ton of vintage there.

Nate, I applaud you for your maiden effort at setting up and am certain your lonely cases of pre-war must have garnered a lot of lookers and questions from those not familiar with the world we live in. Hell, I might even take my cases out of mothballs and set up should there be another WPB show with better publicity in the future. Strangely, I was not even aware of it until my neighbor alerted me. Hope your sales allowed you to cover costs and make a few bucks as well.
Flu is gradually receding and I feel almost half-human again. Thanks for the thought. John |
