Default How is the Wilmington, MA, Shriner's Auditorium Show so far?

Phil,

I didn't see a lot of raw material, but wasn't really looking for cards. The raw Planet of the Apes cards were cheap though! To be honest, if you've never been to the show you owe yourself the opportunity to go. It's probably the closest thing to a National out this way. It's a huge show with about half new and half vintage. There are MANY dealers. I honestly wasn't expecting to pick up anything when I went today but just like going to see what's happening. I just love browsing and taking it all in. I got lucky with the postcard. As far as prices, anything pre-war usually doesn't come cheap, but you never know what you'll find. All of the auction companies were on hand, as were, I believe, all of the heavy hitter authenication/grading companies. It's just a fun time.
Greg
