It's a card show at a freakin' stadium. I'd go just for the experience.

About 25 years ago, a card dealer set up a show in a horse racing track grand stand at Suffolk Downs horse racing track in East Boston Massachusetts. The track and grandstands were built in 1935. The track closed around 2017. They built stores and apartment buildings.
The owner of that track recently tried to get approval for a small horse racing track in the small town of Hardwick in central Massachusetts with a population of 2626 people. It didn't get the towns approval. |

There was also a regular show at the Hollywood Park racetrack/casino about 20 years ago. Pretty good show, too. Best part was that there was a Pinks hot dog stand in the casino for post-show dining.

Best one I EVER went to was at the Coral Square Mall in Coral Springs. I bought craploads of cards at the regular shows held there in the 1990s. If you patiently waited until sellers started packing up on Sunday you could get insane deals. Of the many cards I bought there, one comes immediately to mind. 1958 Topps Mantle in decent condition for $75. Yes, I still have it.

I once attended a Card Show in the later 1980's on the old Aircraft Carrier the U.S.S. Intrepid that's used as a floating museum on the Hudson River in NYC.
That was pretty cool. It was also the place I first saw stacks of 1986 Fleer Basketball boxes being sold for 50 bucks a box, and thinking they were over-priced. |

Vintage
Bob, I have gone to the shows they run at TD Garden and at Fenway park. There is always some vintage in the room. Not a ton but always something to buy.

My entry as a qualifier for "big show"
was at Shea Stadium many years ago. Lew Lipset, Bill Heitman, Robert Lifson and many other quality dealers were there. This event would have been well before TPAs. I bought N172's from Bill Heitman and a lot of general "stuff" from other dealers but the hit of the show (this is a true story) was a table where Topps 1952, raw and unprotected, were piled in a spread-out heap. Rob Lifson probably remembers, for I believe at one point he was successful in buying the entire lot.

Did anyone go to this show? Or the one in Quincy? How was it?

Thanks for the feedback. How would they compare to the Peabody/Dedham/Mansfield shows which are all pretty good? I went to shows in Woburn and Westborough. Neither worth the drive and I live in Woburn :-)

I would say on par with Dedham/Mansfield. Better than Woburn weekly.
