Philly Show

[curch]

I went yesterday and it was packed. Picked up a 67 mantle for $20 and some wax boxes!

I was there on Saturday, which was my first time back in about 4 years. My have things have changed! The first thing that jumped out to me was the size of the crowd - years ago on a Saturday show morning at 10:30 it was packed. This time there may have been 100 people. A ton of modern stuff, no Levi, and and the room was half full (half empty in this case?) .... but it cured an itch I had.

Hopefully the National is better, as the best way to buy cards is in person.

Didn't make it this time but sounds like I didn't miss much. Agree that this show seems to be kinda limping along at this point.

I hope to do some shows in the future but the Philly shoe won't be one I do. I still harbor some angst about being told (by Hunt in a memorandum?) I couldn't do another local show if I do theirs. I don't dislike their auctions but I don't see me going to a show that has that kind of history. Plus, when asked about getting a table 6-7 yrs ago they said it was full. I went to the show and there were plenty of empty tables. Nah, too many others I would rather set up at. Hopefully later this year.....we shall see.

If the Philly shoe don't fit, don't wear it.

I might even go to walk around but not set up. There are several I am giving thought to. CSA and Fusco are 2 I would probably like to do (and they advertise here too).
