Philly Show this weekend...

[blades3]

I'll be there all weekend walking around, talking with clients and taking consignments for our Dec. 3 auction. I've been to a lot of shows, but this is my first Philly Show and I'm looking forward to it. PM me if you are interested in consigning - thanks.

Please stop by and say hello! I am booths 313 and 314 right next to Stevie Verkman.

I liked the Reading location and set up much better. I think the flow of traffic starting from the far left of the room was best. This will most likely be my last Philly show. I am considering the setting up at the White Plains show in March.

Dan:

Based on my experience of attending every Philly & White Plains show held over the past 5+ years, I believe the plus side for you in doing the White Plains show is that you will have far less pre-war dealers to compete with, especially on the scarcer material like I know you carry. I guess the minus side is that many pre-war collectors already know this and may not frequent the White Plains show nearly as much as the Philly show.

I will be at the show Friday and most of Saturday.

Dan--You can't leave this show. Besides, it's a longer drive to White Plains, you'll develop an even greater thirst, and that could be dangerous!

Cheers,
Mike

Might have some work to take care of Friday but will be there all day Saturday and Suday set up with Ted Z...

I agree with Dan. I wish it was still in Reading. But, I understand that Hunts wanted it closer to Philly. I wonder if this show is still the same quality as it was in the old Ft. Washington expo center a few years ago. I would normally go to this show, but it is too close to Yom Kippur.

While Reading was off the beaten path for most, I really enjoyed the show being there--I used to live 20 minutes up the road!

I have to agree with Phil's points on setting up with vintage at White Plains. Aside from the ECN show, there is a greater focus on modern material. I can imagine that my vintage autograph inventory would be ignored by collectors all scurrying around the venue in search of the cheapest Jeter or ARod
8X10. That show was rife with bad autographed modern-day material (as well as a ton of authentically-signed merchandise).
