Chicago Sports Spectacular show this weekend - worth going to?
 
I have a rare weekend that doesn't involve going to travel baseball games for my kids and I saw that there is a show in the Chicago area - has anyone been to this before? Worth the trouble to go to?

Thanks

Chris

Of course it is! Lots of Meyers Leonard stuff.

You get to meet Thomas Ian Nicholas—that alone has to be worth it

I'd drive 5 miles for that. No more.

I'm guessing she doesn't sign any flats, but hoping she'll sign a couple of my balls.

I am setting up in booths 44-46 with pre- and post war.

Gabby B assets notwithstanding, I am not sure it is worth driving 2 hours for this show. Doesn't look like a good venue for vintage stuff.

Still considering going for the Gabby B meet and greet though...

Show used to be very strong back in the day. I haven’t been to it since cOVID. Ayo signing has me intrigued as a huge Illini fan.

Did you end up attending this? My youngest has been pestering me to go, just wasn't sure if it would be worth the trip.

I did not - it would have been a two hour drive for me and it didnt seem worth the risk

It was ok I guess. Quite a bit smaller than the usual fall and spring shows they host which may be worth the drive A decent amount of 50s and 60s stuff but minimal pre war stuff. I’m 45 minutes away so I went.

I’m about two hours away so I took my son to the show. There wasn’t a very good selection of pre war vintage there at all, nothing compared to the Nationals. It was nice without a huge crowd there and no big lines.
