Sorry, that was too easy for me to pass up.


In answer to the OP, I collect both, and always welcome a dealer who has non sports. However, the suggestion of posting it here first seems like a lot less work, as a starting point. You have to catalog it anyhow.

Thanks - to be clear it's not non-sports cards but rather memorabilia (figures, paper ephemera, board games, toys, etc)

Will let my father know all the responses!

I did see one table with some autographed star wars and star trek stuff, along with signed sports memorabilia

I used to set up at some larger shows - "willow grove", Nassau coliseum, Robert Morris and a few other larger regional shows (never the national.....yet). I used to bring many non sport (TV,Movie, Rock N Roll related cover themes)magazines from the 1950's-1980's. Mainly I used them as a hook to try to buy more - that worked REALLY well as no one else in the place advertised they were buying that stuff. On occasion I would sell something - but it was not usual.

Thanks for the lookout and for the personal experience!

You would be better off doing the Chicago toy show. It's much cheaper than the national and you would have many more collectors of your type of material. I set up there with a table of sports and two tables of toys.
