How was the crowd traffic? Ever since they moved to Reading every show has been declining. SGC is there but not doing on site grading anymore. We went there a few times and stopped because it was not worth it. Think GAI felt the same way. |

I thought the parking lot was fairly empty when I got there at 5, but the crowd was better, but not great, by the time I left at 745. Picked up some T205's, 35 Goudeys, an E95 Merkle and a E93 Leach, among others. Prices went from fair to what the hell? One dealer who I won't name was trying to sell vge T205 commons in the 150-200 range (raw). His T206 prices were equally egregious, which was a shame, since he had many rare backs for sale. |

I was there Friday the whole time 5pm - 9pm. It was a lot less crowded than a typical Friday night at the old Ft. Wash. location. A lot of dealers were saying that each show in the new location brings less & less collectors. In other words, this Friday had less number than the Fri from the last show & so on. Some dealers were very unhabby with sales Fri night & say they may not continue setting up anymore there. |

Thanks for the updates, I have not been to Reading yet and had good luck when it was in Ft. Wash for about three years. It seems it lost something when it moved and I always looked forward to spending time in the Philadelphia area, but not to many shows have vintage cards like Philly and some of the other bigger shows. |

I was there today. I thought it was a pretty good crowd. Got to shake hands and speak with Ted Z. which was cool. Picked up my first Hindu. The card is a 1 but the back is really solid. |

I spent two hours today at the show. I have only been to the show three times now, so I can't comment on whether there were fewer dealers or smaller crowds. |

There were some dealers there I didn't recognize, and some dealers who are always there were missing. |

I have to admit, the show was small in size in its layout, but there was good attendance. I picked up a couple of Willards including McBride and Rickey. |
