If it was in a day's drive for me I would absolutely go. With no autograph guests you should have less crowds and more room to shop. I am just not ready to stay in a hotel room yet. If I was younger and did not have some health issues I would go in a heartbeat.

I would say 75% yes. I can travel to and from in a day. But a lot depends on the status of the area at the time.

Default The October Chantilly Show

The Chantilly Show will be held October 23-25! The hours will be slightly longer and the tables will be spread out! I am sorry for those collectors and dealers who want autographs, however, it will be interesting to see who are those genuinely interested in the sports cards. We will be set up near our usual location.

Nick Miggliaccio, Tom Botticelli and I will all be set up, not sure where yet. I'll be accepting last minute submissions to our November Pre War auction. Stop by and say "hi!"

I was excited to see that "The Big Show at Chantilly," as me and my buddy always called it, was actually going to take place in this age of cancellations. I haven't been to a show in years, and haven't been anywhere in months, so I'm really looking forward to bringing some cash and some stuff to sell and consign. Funny how you appreciate things so much more now.

I am so looking forward to this, I have been having some serious show withdrawal. I am not an autograph person, so it will be nice to hang with card collectors.

In addition to accepting Pre War consignments for November's auction we will also have items from the auction that will be running at that time. It's a post war auction with killer basketball. Highlights:

1986 Fleer Jordan PSA 9
3 1980 Bird/Magic Rookies in PSA 8
4 2003 Topps LeBron James in PSA 10
Complete Basketball sets from 1974 - 1987
Nearly Every Star Co. Card ever printed! Keys are all BGS graded range from 7 - 9.5 mainly due to centering.

Willard's Real Pit BBQ. Located just a few doors down from the building where the Chantilly Show is held. My wife and I have been going there for many years, and my wife isn't much of a meat eater, but she loves their beef brisket. I'm a fan of the pulled pork BBQ. Not a fancy place - you order at the counter and seat yourself - a good quantity of delicious food at reasonable prices. Here's the linky to Willard's web site: https://www.dcbbq.com/

Default I sent in my check and contract!

I should have a table! I encourage all Net 54 members to stop by and say hello! Not to mention to check out some cool eye candy ( mostly post war, but a few pre war goodies) - not sure if they will have me listed under Howard Chasser or A Few of My Favorite Things. Would love to put some faces to names!

I'll be looking to buy as well - From the tobacco era through the early 70's. The rarer the better. Love test issues, food issues, bigger name singles, sets, graded, raw, Cobbs, Ruths, heck if your selling, just stop by and show it to me!

Have to try and say hi at some point. Big problem with masks is it doesn't help with learning faces that's for sure!

Decided to pass. In my opinion, it is not safe to do at this time. The way baseball card shows work is that you handle things other people have handled and exchange money hand to hand. I would love to go, but it will just have to wait.

My line of thought, too. It's not easy, my eight-year old inner-self is really angsty on this.

And I don't even know if I'd do next year, either. At least my current self has auctions to look at.

I certainly respect peoples right to make their own decisions. My take based on the most current information is 1) Yes, cases seem to be increasing in a lot of places - in part because of poor use of PPE 2) The mortality rate is actually materially decreasing - at its height I believe it was somewhere around 3-4% of those infected, currently down to about 1%. In a majority of those cases there was comorbidity. So, if you are in the higher risk age range and/or have prexisting comorbid factors like heart disease, high blood pressure, diabtetes, etc. then I believe it is a wise decision to wait. I am healthy, not in the highest risk age range, choose to properly use ppe and am REALLY looking forward to being at a show!

If Joe, Rick and the guys at CSA seemed to be taking a laissez-faire attitude toward the whole thing I think I would've passed. Since they are taking it as seriously as I would if I were attempting a live event, I thought I'd go, taking every precaution I could. I will be sanitizing my hands after each transaction, changing masks each day (at least) and will be asking people at my booth to please take things seriously as well.

Todd, would not wearing gloves alleviate this concern?

Not enough. I'm not high risk (59, healthier than I deserve), but my mom is (86). I've had two friends whose parents (one dad, one mom) have died from COVID.

That I understand. I am quarantining when I return for 10 days. My wife is staying with a friend.

Very true. Here are the new CDC morality/survival rate numbers for the United States based on age group:

0-19 years - 99.997%
20-49 years - 99.8%
50-69 years - 99.5%
70+ years - 94.56%

Obviously, the rate significantly increases at 70 years or older (5% spike), and individuals in that age group need to take extra precautions. However, unless you have concerning pre-existing conditions, mortality rates for earlier ages are fairly consistent with the standard influenza flu. Self awareness for utilizing appropriate PPE & social distancing are critical and after speaking with Joe, I am confident CSA will be taking all of the necessary precautions.

Looking forward to the show!

I have a general question, I'm asking here because I'm planning to attend this show and have never traded bigger cards at a show. I own a 1953 Mantle in a PSA 1. I would really like to upgrade to a 2-4, and would like to trade my card plus cash to make up the difference. Are sellers often receptive to doing deals like this? If I bring my card to the show, what's the likelihood that I'm able to make a deal? Thanks.

Hard to say exactly how likely it is to make a deal but it’s certainly possible. I’m taking a sgc 3 cobb red portrait in hopes I can upgrade in a similar manner that you laid out.

Find what you’re interested in and ask. Can’t hurt.

That is a tough question, as a dealer, I dont like to trade down. At shows, alot of times somebody will offer a lessor graded card for a higher grade. I usually say no to the proposal, unless the person offers his card at a price where I know I can make a few bucks and the cash offer works out. Also depends on what the card looks like for the grade.

Of course you can make deal, but be advised that if you do, you will not “get a deal”. Dealers are in it to make money. So, if presented with that opportunity, they may accept a trade plus cash. In my experience, many dealers will value their card at market and then value your card at less than market and ask for cash to make up the shortfall. While I hate this; I understand and respect it. They want to sell a card for $X. You have a card worth less than $X, which is a lesser card, and you are willing to put in cash. They want to get their $X out of the card they are selling and if they are going to take back a lesser card, then they need to make money on that too- bc it’s more work and it would have been easier to just sell the card for $X or even a bit less than $X.

I take cards with me all the time to shows. I have sold some and I have traded some - sometimes to other show attendees. But the dealer almost always get the better end, which is fine. For this reason, take cards of yours that have appreciated.

One side note - there is a room full of collectors, most of whom are attendees and not dealers, but all of whom can be trade partners. Make connections and see if you can make deals with attendees, there or more likely down the line. Just do not do that in front a dealer’s booth, as thats poor form to cut deals with someone else in a dealer’s own shop
