Buy/Sell/Trade Forum

Is anyone attending? I might be going down with my wife for a short while. I'm not sure if will be buying anything but can always use storage supplies and love digging through the discount boxes.

Little out of my neighborhood but there is one closer to me at the Westmoreland Mall in Greensburg, PA this weekend.  It shall depend on the weather.  Anyways have fun at your show and enjoy!

One in Houston the weekend of 2/4.  I've been slowly saving up $ since before COVID and biding my time.  Can't wait!

Considering making the ~2 hour drive - for anyone who has been to the show, any guesses on how many tables there will be roughly how many (if any) will be vintage?

A bit too much of a drive for me, too.

I am looking for several old Racing sets that were local to Wisconsin, specifically some DLP "Hot Shots" cards.  If you happen across any I'd sure appreciate it if you could let me know, particularly so if they are ones that are not yet scanned on TCDB (I have scanned all the ones I have).

Are you talking about the Eau Claire show or a different one? Last year when I was in Eau Claire I would estimate around 20 tables with a few vintage.

Been to that show a few times. Usually got some good cards there. Last time I went they had vintage to the new things. But can’t make it this time. Whoever goes- enjoy the show. 

I made it to the show about 3:00 yesterday. I was satisfied with the show size. The room they had was filled with card dealers. The coin dealers had to be moved to the mall lobby area. Newer stuff dominated the show but there was a nice mix of newer products and vintage products available. I bought from 2 dealers with my main focus on getting closer to completing a 1979 baseball set. Based on what I saw there I am moving up the organization of my partial football sets from the 70s on my to do list.

More and more I feel less interested in new releases and a greater desire to work toward completing those older sets. I saw a young man open a hobby pack of I believe Illusions football. He paid $40 for the pack and his big hit was a Treylon Burks patch card. For me, those prices are completely out of hand.

Storage supplies prices seem really high to me as well. It's almost worthwhile to buy junk collections that were stored well just for the boxes, pages and albums.

The show had something for all collectors which was nice. I think they are having another show in April so I am going to work to get more of my vintage organized and be back to work on some of that.
