Chantilly or Philly show, which is the better show?
There is the Philly show at the end of September and the Chantilly show in October. I am planning on making a trip to one of them, but I can't make both. Any opinion on which is historically the better show?

I've never been to the philly show, but I've been to Chantilly a few times (live up the street from it) and its okay. I suppose it depends on what you're looking for...

Jason is right. It depends on what you're looking for.

I've only been to Chantilly. I've picked up a handful of low-to-mid grade T206s in the past, but I've never seen a huge selection of them or pre-war. Ken Cohen's table had one of the best pre-war selections, but I'm not sure if he'll be setting up in October.
About half to 2/3 of the show are cards, most being either 50s/60s or modern shiny stuff. The other 1/3 of the show is a mix of autographs, supplies, pictures, etc.

My interests now are pre-war obviously focusing on T205 and '34 Goudey. As well as HOF autographs.
I've also thought about the October White Plains show or Long Island National, but living in Pittsburgh those trips are quite a bit longer to make.. Last edited by markf31; 08-28-2012 at 02:52 PM. |

I've been to both and the Philly show had more vintage, pre-war dealers. It was much bigger, as well.

Philly is not what it was when it was in Reading a few years back, but just when you thought it was down for the count, it seemed to make a comeback in June. Go figure. So the Philly show is a viable option for you as long as it can duplicate what I saw at the June show.
