3rd Annual Vintage Trade Show and Get Together

jefferyepayne · #1 10-25-2024, 04:15 PM

Hey Ryan and Andrew,

I am most definitely interested in coming! Just want to confirm that you aren't going to restrict the attendance / setup to baseball collectors like you did a few years ago when I was all set to come and then was told that only pre-war baseball people were encouraged to come.

I'd love to be involved if things have changed!

Nothing has changed from a few years ago, the theme is still prewar vintage baseball (like this part of the forum). We did not restrict anything last year, we just discouraged non-themed set ups. Of course we wont turn anyone away, but please know that the event is currently (and still) geared to prewar vintage baseball.

Hi Ryan,

So it’s ok if I bring some unique postwar cards to display next to prewar ?
I’m new to collecting prewar (only the last 12 months).

Thanks,

How many people attended last year?

What's that date/time?

What are the costs associated with participating?

Can this thread provide a list of cards that people will be bringing to sell/trade?

Any other pertinent details worth mentioning that can be provided in a summary thread entry?

Hi Fred,

I would say around 30-40 people came last year (over the course of the day). Details regarding date, time, location etc. are in the first post of this thread. There is no cost to attend and food and drinks will be free this year. People can feel free to post in this thread with items they plan on bringing to sell/trade.

No way to know for sure, but I'd guess the attendance was in the range of 50-60 people or so. I think you probably had 30 or so just manning the tables. I ran nightclubs back in the day, and would often do headcounts in the room to compare to door tickets, sales, etc. Just my two cents, but from being there all day, I think you've understated the count a bit.

Definitely possible� I will trust your judgement, Hank!

Sure, You can bring whatever you want! That said, the theme is prewar baseball, and the vast majority of the items there (and collector interests) will fit that theme. Further, we highly encourage people to try to stick mostly to prewar baseball.

For this show, and other shows I might go to, I hope it stays pre-war baseball. I don't mean to offend anyone it's just what I collect.

I have only a little interest in post war cards except someday I might own a '51 Mantle.
As I PM'd Ryan, it's their show and I am just happy and appreciative of being invited.
.
and a card

Well, that's too bad.
