Default The Best Card Show Venue Ever

From SCDaily:
There’s no football game at Gillette Stadium this weekend–and the way the Patriots have been playing that’s probably not a bad thing–but there is a card show going on. The CardVault, a shop located on the stadium grounds, is hosting the first ever show inside a football stadium this Saturday and Sunday.

The 200-table event in Foxboro will be held at the Putnam Club inside the stadium. Show hours are 9-5 both days.

There are 16 autograph guests–mostly current and former Patriots but a few others as well.
How freaking cool would it be to go to a card show at the actual stadium? You listening, Dodgers and Rams?

Anyone now anything about this? I fear it would have very little vintage

It's a card show at a freakin' stadium. I'd go just for the experience.

About 25 years ago, a card dealer set up a show in a horse racing track grand stand at Suffolk Downs horse racing track in East Boston Massachusetts. The track and grandstands were built in 1935. The track closed around 2017. They built stores and apartment buildings.

The owner of that track recently tried to get approval for a small horse racing track in the small town of Hardwick in central Massachusetts with a population of 2626 people. It didn't get the towns approval.

There was also a regular show at the Hollywood Park racetrack/casino about 20 years ago. Pretty good show, too. Best part was that there was a Pinks hot dog stand in the casino for post-show dining.

At least there should be enough parking for everyone attending the show if they had it at SoFi Stadium.

First ever card show in a football stadium is hardly an accurate designation. All the way back in the mid-1980’s, the old Gloria Rothstein shows that were held at the Westchester County Center in White Plains, NY were held for at least a couple of years at Giants/Jets Stadium in Secaucus, NJ (Meadowlands) inside the Clubhouse Restaurant in the stadium. Those were major events and packed every time. I specifically remember them having the Star Co. basketball team set baggies for sale there as they had just come out.

The show is competing against a relatively large show in Quincy, MA. My expectation is that the Quincy show will have more vintage selection. But please tell me if I’m wrong because I don’t have time to attend both and the quality of the dealers on hand is more important to me then being able to see a foot ball stadium.

Bob, I have gone to the shows they run at TD Garden and at Fenway park. There is always some vintage in the room. Not a ton but always something to buy.

Default My entry as a qualifier for "big show"

was at Shea Stadium many years ago. Lew Lipset, Bill Heitman, Robert Lifson and many other quality dealers were there. This event would have been well before TPAs. I bought N172's from Bill Heitman and a lot of general "stuff" from other dealers but the hit of the show (this is a true story) was a table where Topps 1952, raw and unprotected, were piled in a spread-out heap. Rob Lifson probably remembers, for I believe at one point he was successful in buying the entire lot.

Thanks for the feedback. How would they compare to the Peabody/Dedham/Mansfield shows which are all pretty good? I went to shows in Woburn and Westborough. Neither worth the drive and I live in Woburn :-)

Agreed that the Quincy show will have more vintage - might not be a ton like Shriners was two weeks ago, but will have some at least. Based on the CardVault store at Patriot Place, the Foxboro show will be all shiny.

Ohio State had a show at their football stadium not too long ago. It looked like a really good idea. I would go to a show that was at a sports stadium just for the expereince for sure. If the nationals ever did something like that Id be there.

I would say on par with Dedham/Mansfield. Better than Woburn weekly.

Best one I EVER went to was at the Coral Square Mall in Coral Springs. I bought craploads of cards at the regular shows held there in the 1990s. If you patiently waited until sellers started packing up on Sunday you could get insane deals. Of the many cards I bought there, one comes immediately to mind. 1958 Topps Mantle in decent condition for $75. Yes, I still have it.

I once attended a Card Show in the later 1980's on the old Aircraft Carrier the U.S.S. Intrepid that's used as a floating museum on the Hudson River in NYC.

That was pretty cool.

It was also the place I first saw stacks of 1986 Fleer Basketball boxes being sold for 50 bucks a box, and thinking they were over-priced.
