This show had amazing pre-war material from t206's to Dukes to cabinets. I cannot comment on pricing (although I doubt it was cheap), but material was there. What wasnt there were people. Reading is near nothing and the expo center is difficult to get to. Altogether I had a great time, seeing folkd I havent seen since Willow Grove days!

I bought a few Milk duds and one of those 1950 All Star Pin Up books. Almost bought a Cobb off fromm K&K that was technically only a 4-5, but a beautifullt centered oversized card. Might go back tomorrow.

p.s. Al Rosen didn't remember me. I might cry myself to sleep. However, saw Mike Wheat, Tony Busineau, Brian Dec, Ron Oser, Kevin Strauss, Mark Skerbe, Levi & Jimmy, Terry Knouse, and a whole bunch of other old farts.

Great time.

Does anyone know if Tony Carafel from Delco Sports is still around?I purchased many cards from him in Philly few years back.

Wondo , not sure when you were there , but today (saturday) seemed like a good day as far as people go . It looked just as full as i remember in FT Washington . As far as getting there i found it to be much easier to find then the first time i went to Ft Washington . Not a problem

Plenty of vintage material all around , and modern if that is what you were looking for . I collect oddball material Prism Jewel , Fournier estrellas stickers , San Diego rockets Jack in the box , promos and test issues , all of which are few and far between .

I did have a good time though , as i took my 10 year old son with for his first expo show . He was a little overwelmed with all the cards to look at , but we made it . all in all i thought it was a good show and am glad it came to reading !!
