Calif. Card show!!!

Exhibitman · #1 01-15-2013, 11:04 PM

Candidly, we're also hoping that a one-day show will bring out the old-school weekend warriors, the guys with no real business plan, inventory, etc., and no real ambition to be 'dealers' but a lot of accumulated stuff that they'd like to turn over and would otherwise either send to an auctioneer or put on Ebay. Just the excess stuff I've sent to an auctioneer over the last year could fill a table easily and I'm sure I am not unique in that respect. My hope is that a table fee of under $100 and a one-day time commitment will convince those guys to come out and give it a shot. So, anyone reading who is SoCal local, mark May 18th and think about taking a table. Bring out your doubles, your triples and your stuff that no one would possibly want--you might be surprised.

We will have table contracts and a table selection sheet ready in a week or two.

What a terrific idea, Adam--just like the good old days, before virtually everything went on-line! Wish I could be there, and wish you the very best of luck!

Regards,

Larry

Hello, my name is Michael. I just signed up for this site and saw this thread on SoCal card shows. I may be interested in getting a table at the Culver City show. Need to get rid of some excess cardboard and make some room.

I also saw a comment that someone posted about starting a card club. I am also interested in that as a way to maybe get some face to face trades going. Those are the type of trades from my childhood.

Thanks!

Hey Michael - welcome to the site. Would love to have you at the show. Give me a shout through the link on the site below and I'll hit you back by email or phone. We've got a dealer agreement now and below is a show layout. We need to do a more detailed scout to make sure this will work as planned but is pretty close. The entrance is located down the aisle between tables 7 and 8. All tables are 8 foot tables. Let us know if you have any questions.

One thought is to have this first show and have a signup list for anyone wanting to participate in the card club. Then we can start an email thread or chain and post the next meetup on the socalcollectors site. Monthly or bi-monthly, maybe?

To order the fries crispy. Otherwise, those are terrible. The burgers are uniformly good.
