Philly Show this weekend....see you there ?

[tedzan]

I totally agree with you regarding the high-priced autograph situation as I have stated.....
"The people running this show have to realize that a "hi-priced autograph show" does not necessarily translate into a good dealer--customer show."

$100 for Schilling's autog., pix, and Authentication is ridiculous. I like Schilling a lot, but that is a lot $$ for his signature. And, who knows what they
were charging for Andre Dawson, or Reggie Jackson ?


Regarding your......
"Forth, Baltimore National, to me it had no impact. Perhaps people can't recover in a few months but perhaps it was more of an issue of the product
and the prices rather then the national being close."

I have to differ with you. I can tell you for a fact that at least 12 of my long-time, regular Philly Show customers, who bought cards from me in Bal-
timore this Summer, didn't show up at the Valley Forge show last weekend. I heard similar stories from other dealers when we were comparing notes.
