Who is going to the Fort in March?

1420sports · February 10, 2004 12:55AM

I will be there on Friday evening and possibly Sat - hopefully the weather is not like it was last time.

I am counting on seeing the usual suspects that night.

Putty · February 10, 2004 1:11AM

Count me and Gosox Bosox in for I believe Friday night

Machodoc · February 10, 2004 1:26AM

Friday evening and Saturday.

GoSoxBoSox · February 10, 2004 1:59AM

Friday night it is.

ChicagoGlen · February 10, 2004 2:19AM

Where is this at? Is it on the east coast? I am in York PA every week until May so if so I would like to go.
Thanks,

Glen

Friday, Saturday and certainly til 4pm on Sunday. Booth 1108.

mikeschmidt · February 10, 2004 3:35AM

which weekend is it this time?

GoSoxBoSox · February 10, 2004 3:41AM

<< <i>which weekend is it this time? >>

March 5-7

PlayBall · February 10, 2004 4:01AM

I'll be there on Saturday. It is against my religion to drive the "SureKill" Expressway on a Friday night.

Skycap · February 10, 2004 4:59AM

1420,

I'm thinking about attending so that we can have a one-on-one debate about the All-Time Hit King!

Skycap

1420sports · February 10, 2004 5:02AM

Skycap, I look forward to it

mikeschmidt · February 10, 2004 5:44AM

I might attend for an hour or two on Saturday morning...

GoSoxBoSox · February 10, 2004 5:52AM

<< <i>I'll be there on Saturday. It is against my religion to drive the "SureKill" Expressway on a Friday night. >>

That'll add 10 years on to your life.

FB · February 10, 2004 5:59AM

Guys,

You really should wait till Saturday morning - everyone knows that all the best deals start on Saturday!

(Joe - see you Friday night...)

EdsBaseballCards · February 10, 2004 7:03AM

Hey Neal
I'll be there Fri. evening. Maybe we can finally meet in person. See ya there

ejguru · February 10, 2004 7:19AM

Yeah...what Frank said. Absolutely no raw NM+ cards allowed in the hall until Saturday...drink the punch.

ydsotter · February 10, 2004 7:25AM

I am thinking of making it an all day saturday thing...

joker73 · February 10, 2004 7:30AM

I'll be there in spirit Neal. One of these days, I need to plan a family visit back East to coincide with a Fort show ... my in-laws live one Turnpike exit away, and diversions are always welcome

The53Kid · February 10, 2004 12:38PM

Add another Booze Junkie to the mix..I'll be doing burnouts in the parking lot on Friday until the opening bell.

Who wants to challenge me to a dragrace in the upper parking lot? Or better yet that super-twisty road into the Expo center.

riccaboni · February 11, 2004 5:03AM

I'll be there Friday night or Saturday morning.

-Ian

VintageVikes · February 11, 2004 6:20AM

I'll be there all day Saturday trying to fill my want list.

ctsoxfan · February 11, 2004 7:34AM

I'll be there Friday night as well. Certainly a lot of board members going this time (I was snowed out back in December). Does anyone know if PSA will be there accepting on-site?

murcerfan · February 11, 2004 7:53AM

Does anyone know if PSA will be there accepting on-site?

My sources in the shipping dept. (ShmoJoe) tell me that they will be there accepting both cards and verbal complaints.

ctsoxfan · February 11, 2004 11:58AM

Perfect! Thanks, murcerfan...I'll be there with submissions in hand.

gaspipe26 · February 11, 2004 9:51PM

Frank and ejguru,
It might be tough finding NM+ Friday!!!

ejguru · February 11, 2004 11:12PM

You know it Bob! WP show in January was like the Las Vegas stip in February...... circa 1933!

NeilDowney · February 12, 2004 8:54AM

Hey Guys, I plan on taking the lazy seat next to the great Frank Bakka for the Friday night show. I'm really looking foward to this one after the last snowed out one. I hope to be able to meet all of the good people on these boards and on ebay that I have never met before. I just hope that everyone stays away from the 1955 and 1956 Topps cards until I'm done looking :-) Neil

Putty · February 12, 2004 9:18AM

Neil, first beer is on me. We need to work something out, me and gosoxbosox will be there Friday night, we should plan on getting together at the food stand at an appointed time

GoSoxBoSox · February 12, 2004 10:11AM

Don't worry Putty....Frank and I know each other. If neil's with him...we'll find him.

gaspipe26 · February 12, 2004 12:19PM

Maybe I ought to bring a couple of 5000 count boxes with me.

SKINSFAN · February 12, 2004 11:18PM

MIGHT be going fri night this time and staying though sat.Anyone know a good hotel in the area ?

murcerfan · February 12, 2004 11:33PM

I usually use priceline and get the Doubletree at Plymouth Meeting (10 minutes west).
usually about $45 gets it. Nice digs, suite style, and they have room service till 10pm and a shopping mall across the street with a joint that serves till about midnight. There is a decent bar in the Atrium where a Skerbe or two can sometimes be spotted. PSA usually stays there too, and it's fun to call them up at 3am and ask if your grades are done

marty · February 13, 2004 12:13AM

I used Priceline. $45.00 I haveHotel

SKINSFAN · February 13, 2004 1:06AM

THANKS for the info Marty and Murcer.The idea of late night grades sounds good.Not to sure about the skerbees and the bar after enough drinks i may end up shoping for cards at the bar

sjjs28 · February 13, 2004 10:30AM

I'll be there with bells on.....
looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones !

No SNOW !!!! Please.
