Boston Sports Collector’s Show This Weekend

[Donscards]

I usually don't comment on shows, but I will on the Shriners Show--Yes, the foot traffic was down--but not bad--Collectors and Dealers are slower to pull the trigger--Something funny happened on this show (a 3 day show) Sunday was my best day in years--Usually always the slowest day--I have done the Shriners show from its inception--I think around 1987--I believe there are 5 of us left from the 1st show (Yes, I am old)--I thought I would not hit my goal for the show but Sunday put me well over I sold a PC796 Cobb/Wagner --Goudey Ruth--Babe Ruth Check-Gehrig Exhibit--41 Playball DiMaggio and cards from the 50's and 60's---My T206 cards were slow as where my T3's and CJ's which are pricey and more geared for the National. But overall I was pleased with the show. Always Great to see Friends and Dealers. Still a Wonderful Hobby (Business)--See you at the next show. Don

Don-it was great to meet you in person after frequenting your namesake card shop in Portland decades ago. I’m thrilled you did great at the show, you had some wonderful pieces. It was my 1st time attending and I got a lot out of it (the chicken in the GF wrap was delicious a close 2nd to trading up for a dream card ).

The GBSCC show is one of my favorites. As others have observed, the foot traffic may have been a little light compared to prior years. Sales were good; not great. It was a pleasure to have Tom with me and getting to meet new folks and reconnect with old friends.

The food is hands down the best at any show I've ever attended.

Best part for me is getting to spend some time with my grandsons in Framingham.
