Question - NJ Spirts Card Show Convention Freehold
 
I see there’s a show on Friday and Saturday in Freehold NJ at a place called iPlay America…
Anyone been to a prior show there? Is it worth going? Any substantial vintage? If so, any substantial pre WWII?… sports and non-sports…

I went once a couple of years ago...was excited because its less than an hour from my house...about 75 to 100 tables and less than 5 were vintage and only one had anything older than the 50's....3 were 60's or newer. Huge disappointment. Maybe its better now, but I'm not taking the ride.

There was a thread a few years ago the show. Looks like not much vintage then.

Question - NJ Sports Card Show Convention Freehold
 
Thanks Johnny and Jay!
It's about an hour for me, so I'm debating. Right now, I'm leaning against going unless I hear some more recent experiences that indicate there is more vintage...
The show does appear to be a lot larger than it was a couple of years ago. I do assume that's mostly modern sports and gaming card dealers...

I recently went to a small show in Woodbridge NJ, and it seemed to me to be about 75% gaming cards! The sports side was more modern, but there were a splattering of vintage (no exclusive vintage dealers). The only tobacco cards I saw were a pile of less then poor mostly T206s, a few others (i.e. T207, oh, 1 e-card) sold as a lot (pieces missing on most), all commons except for 1 light HOFer (I believe Griffith)... and it was not cheap (I recollect $1,000 as starting point, for I believe group of (30) or so)...
