Thanks for the report, and I'm glad you and. your dad enjoyed it. That's great to hear (except for the prices!).

Totally random question, but did you see anyone with much in the way of old Type 1 photos or any vintage Japanese baseball cards? Those are two things I've been into lately and don't see around too much.

I attended today and specifically was looking for photos and not much available. Did not see any Japanese either, but was not specifically looking.

The auction houses did have their previews (photos) and they had a few to look at.

I also met Ryan H after overhearing him say his name to a dealer. *Hopefully that was not too creepy.

Also, spent some time with Scott and got an up close look at that PSA “1.5” 52 Mantle and the Rose Co Post cards really nice.

Ted,

It was an absolute pleasure to chat with you today. Thanks for taking some time to speak with me. I greatly appreciate your willingness to share knowledge about the game and the hobby.

Best regards,

Eric

Went to the Philly show today. It’a less than an hour so I usually attend all the shows. Felt like more pre-war and vintage than last time, which is great thing for me! Prices are still strong, some dealers are always better than others. Saw a 33 Goudey Ruth psa 1.5 get purchased with cash so people are still spending money.

I passed on a T206 raw Speaker and went back to take a better look and it was gone, but instead picked up a raw t200 Fatima NY Nationals!

I am at booth 108 in the newly opened section just to the right inside the entrance. I have not had an opportunity to walk the show, but have enjoyed seeing some old net 54 faces and meeting a couple of new ones.

For anyone looking I do have some nice type 1 photos as well as a ton of great vintage material.

It's been a great show for me - sales have been brisk and I have picked up a few new gems.

Be sure and stop by if you are there tomorrow.

Jamie, not creepy at all. I am glad you said hi and nice to meet you.

Regarding Scott’s auction- Collector Connection is really coming along impressively. His prewar auction is shaping up to be special. There are several items, including some Rose Co PCs I expect to try hard to own.

Regarding the show- it was larger/more tables than historically, with almost every square foot being taken up with dealers. Major buzz and very crowded. Tons of stuff- vintage and new. Great vibe in the room. In my opinion, many dealers must have smoked crack before they put price stickers on their cards, bc lots of asking prices were, in my opinion, were stupid high. But if the dealers are selling stuff, god bless them. Many AHs were there, and it was great to see upcoming items and talk to Derek, Dean, Scott, etc. Lee, where were you?? Also, wouid love to see Al from Love of the Game there. Saw some friends, had a great time walking the floor. Bought nothing- I will wait for auction houses so I can buy at fair market prices!
