I am trying to re-arrange my schedule so I can go...

[spacktrack]

SGC will be accepting submissions at this show for the second year in a row. Michael Goldberg will be set up all weekend to meet with collectors and take submissions back for grading. You may use any of our current monthly specials at the show. We don't get out to CA too often, so please consider stopping by to say hello and drop off some cards.

Thank you,

Brian Dwyer
SGC

[David R]

Thanks for the heads up. Is anyone planning to go and, if so, on what day?

[DeanH3]

I'll be there Saturday. I plan on leaving Sac area early enough to get there before it opens. I have a few crossovers for SGC. I'm not expecting much but still looking forwrd to it.

[MBMiller25]

Not that anyone knows me from Adam, but I am trying to get out there for a day.

i am staying for the weekend in SF. Do they authenticate bats on site?

[mackmen]

Is there usually good deals available on pre war cards etc.?

I haven't been to one of these in years and when I did go to these I wasnt collecting prewar. Just curious if anyone has past experiences.

[DeanH3]

I wouldn't expect many good deals. However that does not mean that you cannot find one. Most graded Pre-war that will be there will be priced higher than you would see elsewhere. But you do get to see the card and take it home if you want. Only way to really know is to go and find out. Most often I'm more disappointed than not but I go anyway. I would recommend you check it out if it's not too far for you to travel.

To be able to see and examine a card in person is always worth a little extra to me. Add that to the opportunity to see things that you just don't see everyday - who doesn't love a good card show?

richard's inventory is well worth the price of admisson by itself...the chance to see rman/wes/me in person will be well worth any drive <10hrs***. we will enlighten you with our hobby knowledge, and belittle all the flaws on your card purchases not bought from rman for free. (we can also laugh at rman's 1990's shiny refractors)



***can't confirm wes, but i will be a no show

I've always had great luck finding good stuff at the Cow Palace show, but I collect ungraded cards. In the past, I've always gone on a Saturday, but this year, I can only attend Friday in the late afternoon/early evening. Are there many dealers set up on Friday? I'm debating if it's worth a two-hour drive ...
