I had a great time at the show. It's was really cool meeting many of you in person. I was impressed by the quality of hobby people that showed up. I was lucky enough to set up next to Mark Macrae and listen to him talk. My table partner, Patrick turned out to be an awesome, super fun guy. I really lucked out. I think it "says a lot" when you want to walk around but you don't want to miss any of the action around your table! The promoters of this show are amazing. They just wanted to put on a great show, they're only concern was everyone else, not themselves, and they in turn, created a great time for us all.
I saw stuff yesterday that just blew me away. Issues that I didn't even know existed. I also picked up one of my new favorite pieces, an oversized 1934 PCL Champions Los Angeles team photo once owned by Truck Hannah!!! Thanks again Mark, this thing is massive! Side note, I was surprised to meet so many other collectors younger then me! Keep in touch fellas! |

I thought I would pass along a couple of post from some local collectors with blogs who were at the show.

This was the first time that I set up at a show since I was in Jr. High in the mid-90s. I had a great time selling some items, meeting up with some fellow bloggers and chatting about sports all day. I look forward to the next show in Culver City and will be getting another table again. The LA area needs more shows like this. It was an old school style show that all types of collectors enjoyed. Please keep me informed on information for the next show or any similar ones that may spring up around SoCal.
Thank you to the organizers for setting up such a nice show and a friendly environment. |

I almost have nothing to say because I completely echo all of the comments made to date. Great show! Very cool to meet so many collectors - several of whom I had traded cards via the mail or had "met" via email through the years but never knew. And thanks to my awesome table mate - Matt Hall - Thanks for helping me out through the day (Oh, and I'm still willing to give you a 300% return on your investment on that super cool early baseball photo! ;-).
But more than anything else - I wanted to give a big THANK YOU to Jason, Adam and Anthony! I know you guys put in a lot of time (and money) to make this happen, and I think you all did a fabulous job. Count on my continued support in the future! Cheers, Patrick |

Brian, you can act as my autograph agent in Seattle. Try to keep the price reasonable as I can’t really afford to pay out too much for each request......... Dan, you neglected to mention that I was the man in one of the photos and it was taken during the year I put together 50 sets of Hostess panels by eating the product...... David, I now am carrying a line of PCL Heritage T-shirts, that are super absorbent and shrink resistant....... I neglected to mention earlier that it was really nice to see a contingent of LOCAL collectors, wearing, displaying and collecting Dodger material. These types of shows should be resurrected around the country....All of the comments have been positive...

So a lawyer, a film editor, and a photographer walk into a bar and end up planning a card show.......
Thanks to everyone for all the positive comments, and we really appreciate everyone that attended, whether they were buyers, sellers or lookers. The show exceeded our expectations and we breathed a huge sigh of relief that it all went well. We've heard a bunch of suggestions to make it better and hopefully will get more as we really want to make it an even better experience next time - which should be in the fall. Stay tuned for details. A big thanks goes out to Leon- the full room was testament to how well Net54 advertising works. This board really is the front page of the pre Gulf War hobby and his efforts to keep it all together make things like this show possible. Most importantly, a huge thanks goes out to Mark Macrae who patiently talked us thru this entire process from beginning to end. A finer gentleman you will not meet.

After reading all these great posts and talking with Mark Macrae, I have to say Mega KUDOS to Adam, Anthony, and Jason for a show well done.
This scenario is reminiscent of the great shows here on the East coast in the 1970's, 1980's, and 1990's. I am tempted to ask you guys if you can find a spot for me to set-up at your next show ![]() My youngest daughter, Zoe, lives in Santa Monica....so, that would make for a delightful trip. TED Z |
