New Philly BB card Show in Oaks, PA......Oct 17-19......Check-it-out

[tennisguy]

Who is running this show? First time hearing anything about it?

[Donscards]

The promoter is Fanatics Authentic (They took over the Chicago show) and did a show in the Boston area last April---they are also doing a show in Baltimore in the future---check their website--it has all the info---and lists the autograph guests for the Philly show. They do have free admission for all 3 days which is quite nice.

if I wasn't just at the Philly show, I might attend. For those into autographs, there's a heap of signers.

Seeing that I live right off of Egypt Road, I guess I might have to come by. And I thought the casino was close.

[mrvster]

love to make it I will try....

[tedzan]

Show will not be complete if you don't show.

Oaks is only 10 mins. further from the Casino in Valley Forge.

I'm looking forward to meeting you in person, ole buddy.

I will be stopping by on way to New York from MD visiting family. If anyone got Taylor/Hoy cards or deaf sports related. Feel free to text me at 718 954 1119. I look forward to see you all. I might be the one of very few deaf people in the crowd

Best,

I just got back from the show. I felt the attendance wasn't as strong as Hunt and most of the vendors were selling shiny stuff and auto baseballs. That said, I was able to pick up a N300 and shake Dan Marino's hand. As a Pitt alum, it's always fun to see him. With this being the first time around, the show has a lot of potential, just not as many choices.

I was at the show yesterday and was happy with the outcome. I got to meet the famous Ted and chat for a while as he had T206 Taylor waiting for me. It was the only Taylor I could find at the show. I got to pick up few cool sports uniforms for my son at really cheap.

The admission was free and they let me choose to meet a player for free so i went ahead and got Jenkins ticket and met him. He was very cool guy and signed my baseball with two inscription ( HOF 91, CY Young 71 )

I wish I could go back tomorrow to meet more Hall of Famers but couldnt make it Hope they will be doing another show in the area again. They will be doing another show in Chicago. I think it will be strong one. We shall see.

Best,
Danny

Hey Adam and Scott, I used to live in Audubon. Moved to NJ about 4 years ago. I'll make the show on Saturday.

Interesting that Jimmy Spence will be there. I thought Hunt blackballed anyone who does the Oaks shows from his Philly show. That's why Levi has not been setting up at Valley Forge I thought. Is that what happened to you Ted Z.? I know you used to do the Ft. Washington show

Will be interested to see if Jimmy is at the December Valley Forge show. Or maybe it's like the big banks during the financial crisis, they were too big to fail. Maybe Jimmy Spence is too big to ban by Hunt.!!??

[glynparson]

Hunt allows the authentication services to do both shows just not card dealers.

My first Philly Show was in 1981 at the old Willow Grove Convention Center. In March 1993, the Philly Show moved to Ft. Washington.
Circa 2008, this Show moved to Reading. I set-up at all of these shows during those 30 years. They were tremendous shows for me.

I set up at the first couple of Hunt's shows at Valley Forge (VF). The cost of the booth was excessive. The action at the VF shows was
meager (in comparison to the previous Philly Shows). And, I caught a bad cold when this show was set up in the damp basement level
of the VF building, which is where it is now permanently situated since the Casino was built.


There, don't you wish you hadn't asked me

Ted, I hope this iteration of the Oaks Show is more successful than the previous attempt to establish a viable alternative to Hunt's show.

Can any of the locals tell me how the advertising is for the show---With all the autograph guests, I would think there is heavy advertising in the papers etc. thanks, Don

As someone who plans on doing some of these shows in the not too distant future I hope so too. I doubt I ever will set up at a Hunt show. I wouldn't want them telling me I can't set up at other local shows if I set up at theirs as they did before. To me that is crazy.
