My Dad and I went to the show today and have been going since I was 8 at the old Willow Grove Show. I have seen the height of attendance back then at Willow Grove to most recently, some of the shows at Valley Forge being pretty lackluster. I was surprised and glad to see the attendance seemed real strong and to Hunt's credit ( I know they do things wrong, but I give credit where it is due) the advertised the heck out of the show. They had the local Sports Talk radio show broadcast from the show and I think it seemed to work......with all that said, it was nice to be able to sit down and talk with my dad for a couple hours while walking around the show.

I was at the show earlier today and my thoughts were pretty much the same as Ted's. Decent turnout but mostly for autographs, a little less pre-war on the tables, a bit more modern, sales seemed a bit slow, prices were high as usual with some exceptions. I do think the advertising and bringing WIP in was a help.
I also noticed the Plank but didn't spend much time looking at it. I was initially surprised to see the card as I assumed it was the same one previously known, but after just checking scans now, I don't remember the one at Bill's table having as many creases as the previously known example has. I don't remember seeing any other planks or Lajoie's for sale at the show, but I also wasn't really looking either. For me, the highlight of the show was talking with Al Crisafulli. He immediately noticed my net54 shirt and we had a great talk about his upcoming auction and our collecting habits in general. DJ x2drich2000 |
