A few thoughts... Drove out from NJ so about an hour and a half each way. The five dollar admission, absolutely no problem. I think that it gives a show some credibility and with the dealers that were present it was justified.
1) I am guessing this was not the promotors fault, but the signage wasn't great. Easy to find the gun show... the card show not so much.
2) The lighting in the room was funky. Truthfully gave me a headache / made me dizzy ( I was completely sober. Woke up, ran three miles, had an English Muffin and a banana and then went to the show. )
3) As usual, there were a couple dealers that were a little overpriced, but really seemed to be a great show if you were looking to fill some sets / have fun in discount / dollar type boxes looking for certain players or teams. Basically something for everyone... Even though I thought his prices were high, even had a gentleman who specialized in hockey!
Dave C, David B & Glen M- Enjoyed talking with each of them. Really good guys! Glen, I've seen your stuff twice now ( Great Meadows NJ Show ) Truthfully, I think your stuff just intimidates people, it's that unique! Just to see some of your items should be worth the price of admission for the average collector.
This show is on the cusp of being mentioned in the same breath as a White Plains or Philly Show. The dealer quality was that good. I think to take the next step, having SGC & maybe a couple local auction houses would be key.
My best buy of the day... On the way home at the Blakely indoor flea market- A Bob Lilly Rookie vg/ex condition for fifteen bucks. People in the area should check this guy out. Also had 62 /63 high numbers for a buck a piece.
