Philly Show 9/19 -9/21
Philly show good for memorabilia such as vintage trophies, advertising and equipment? Is this supposed to be somewhat of an east coast National?

Thanks Hank! I should be close for another reason so didnt know if a visit would be worth it.
|
Lots of dealers from the National are set up. Great weather this weekend, I expect some large crowds and the typical wheeling and dealing.

Driven down a few times and never regretted it. But liked it more when it was in a casino. Knock off two vices in one shot.
|
Went to the show today. Usual group of vintage dealers were there. More dealers overall than previous shows with additional dealers seeming to be more Pokémon, but most of them were in a second room with just a few in the main room.
|
Made my big show purchase from William Chappell, as usual, first class all the way.
|
Anything interesting to report for this show? More crowded / less crowded than usual? Did SGC set up? Any new dealers with interesting cards? Anyone
Make a purchase of $50.00 or more without consulting past sales on their phone? |

The line to get in was probably monstrous. I was in line 30 minutes early, and I was barely in the building. Shortly after I got there, event staff sprang into action to make sure the line (now going out the door) was orderly. No way I was going out there to take a look, though. I was near the front of the line...there were only about 150 people ahead of me. :eek: I saw quite a few new dealers. Most of them were the TCG (Pokemon, etc,) crowd, though. I didn't spend a lot of time at those tables. I was only looking for vintage baseball cards. Yes, I purchased all these cards without consulting past sales. I did check my phone once...to make sure the Ryan rookie had a valid cert number. |
I was at the show today, place was absolutely slammed the entire time. The breadth and depth of vintage was amazing, and flowed like the salmon of Capistrano. Saw a T206 Eddie Plank for the first time-quite astounding in hand. A PSA rep also confirmed they do not use any AI to grade, it’s all by people. Lots of fathers and sons and also wives/sig others, was really inspiring to see the next generation wheeling and dealing. Bought a few packs of Disney cards for the fam, was happy to walk away without spending a small fortune, but was very tempted.
