Calling ALL Pacific NW Collectors!

[Archive]

Posted By: Russ Bright

Hey there, I know some of you have been reading the Seattle card show thread and shown interest - I tried to spearhead this thing a little last year and got some responses and this year it seems that there are a few people interested (Jim B, Robert A, Dylan and Andrew all from the other thread)

I have a few people from the NW that would come - I think it would be a good idea to see how many and where- I don't want this to turn into a NY dinner thread (though I'm sure there will eventually be a Seattle Dinner thread) -

How about... if you're interested, please respond to this post with your statement of interest, your e-mail and what you mainly collect. Also how often (weekly/bi-weekly/monthly). I'm sure if we could do a weekly thing it would be FUN, but not everyone could do that. Trying to make a drive to or FROM Portland every week can get expensive. We'll get a list compiled and see from there (Robert, if you could e-mail me if you'd be willing to help me with this)

In All honesty, I was talking about this with my Girlfriend last night and I wanted to sponsor/start a Pre-War Card Show - Monthly that would rotate between Seattle area and the Portland area - if anyone would be interested in setting a table or helping with the logistics (or has started a card show before?)

It's sad that the ONLY vintage show in Seattle is once a Year and had very little Pre-War - I think we can change that, get a couple sponsors, light advertising, we may be able to get more collectors interested... The other 2 card shows in the seattle area (Everett Mall and Totem Lake) have digressed into Pokemon/Yu-Gi-Yo fests...

so... my e-mail is ambrosia2@hotmail.com - please e-mail me if you're interested in helping organize a Card show (just brain storming right now, pipe dreaming, but if we can get enough help...) if you just want to make the Seattle/Pacific NW get together (or are just interested in Information) please post here with

i guess that's It, if I read this and sound like an Idiot I may have to edit.

Looking forward to seeing more of you Pacific NW collectors in the Future! we need to revitalize the Baseball Card collecting industry here!
