Hello everyone! First post here besides a WTB post. I was hoping to tap into the knowledge and experience of this group in asking what card shows have you all been to where you've had the best luck / success finding pre-war baseball cards?
Thanks, Bill

The biggest card shows will always have the most selection from any era. For me that would be the Shriners show in early November. Can’t wait!

Jason, are you referring the Shriners show in MA, not too far from Boston?

The Philly Show always has a bunch of vintage and the only show I have done out of state besides the national. A lot of great dealers and hobbyists there.

Not been to the Philly show, but I've heard that next to the National it is the best

Note there is also a show at the Shriner's in the Spring, put on by Rich Altman I believe, which is good but not quite at the same level as the November show.

The Megalopolis (or what some people call ACELA) is by far the best area for pre-war cards. Basically, anything from New England to Chantilly on the East Coast (Including Philadelphia and Strongsville) is going to have the greatest preponderance of pre-war (and pre-1980) cards

Yes I should have clarified. Shriners in Wilmington November 4-6 this year. This is a terrific show, lots of heavy hitters come in from all over the country. It’s not the National or anything like that but it’s a great show. Can’t wait!

I do the Shriners show in Wilmington (used to be the Boston card collectors show. I have done every one since day 1 (tells you I am old). But a great vintage show with many old time dealers including the Great Bob Thing. Bob goes back to the early 1970’s.

Hi billbays- not sure where you are located. The April show in Strongsville,
Ohio (immediately south of Cleveland) is a wonderful vintage show. It has a retro feel to it, people elbow-to elbow and almost no modern stuff in sight. Trent King |

Please let me know. I would like to reserve a table to sell some "dupes" from 1909 to 1969. Who knows maybe I can find some Schutter Johnson's and 48-49 Leafs for myself.
Thanks, Mike Ryan gmryan9@msn.com |
