Quick Chantilly Review

[36GoudeyMan]

Hadn’t been to the CSA show in Chantilly for a while but dragged the wife and dog to it on Saturday afternoon. We were only there for a couple of hours midday but here’s some impressions: first, not very crowded at all (Nationals playoff game didn’t start till 4, 3:30 pregame show), but still seemed oddly sparsely attended; second, generally, but for large AH displays and a few dealers with lots of T206s, there was a very noticeable disparity between graded and raw cards, with more raw cards being offered for sale than I can ever remember seeing, since the advent of the TPG era; and, third, prices for purchasing graded cards were as high as ever.

Met Jack (?) Probstein and chatted gossipy stuff in an aisle while he petted my dog. Is it old news that Moser and Brent are being indicted? Not sure who knows what anymore.

I like that show for the signers.

Investigated or indicted? That would be news to me that there are actual charges being filed. And probably you mean Rick Probstein unless you're talking about a family member.

Anyone have a PACER account to verify?

I have PACER. There is no current federal case against anyone named Probstein or against PWCC. If there is a full name for PWCC I could check that, but nothing under that.

Thank you Michael. Maybe anything under Huigens in Oregon or Gary Moser in New York?

Jack is Rick's dad and a regular at shows.

Maybe there was a birthday party still going on?

I only live 25 minutes from the Expo center, but due to the lack of baseball guests of interest, I have not attended the last two shows. I was wondering how Charlie Sheen fared.

Agreed! I usually go for the signers as well. It’s still a nice show to walk around. I went to the spring show and it was MUCH more crowded. Could have had something to do with all of the Dallas Cowboy autograph guests, but I was talking to one of the dealers and he said October is usually the slowest of the three throughout the year for whatever reason.
