Dollar bins and refractor cards ain't what I'm driving hours for . . . .

I was there today. I haven't been to the White Plains or Philly shows but the Hofstra show was significantly smaller than what I remembered it to be when I was last there in 08/09.

There was a decent mix of pre-war cards there but the bulk of the vintage seemed like it was 50s & 60s. Definitely saw some nice higher end Cobbs and Wa-Jos. They also had an auction preview there which had a T206 Wagner, T206 Plank, and T206 Magie all on display. The Plank and Magie were both higher grade examples and were cool to see in person. If you're local to Hofstra then I'd say it's worth the trip, but if you are making a long trip I don't think you'll be happy with what you find if you decide to go.
