leadoff4

Can someone give some info. I'm in central Fla. and there's difinitely not much to choose from. Haven't been to any of the shows around Tampa/Clearwater though. I think Mark Rogers puts on those shows.

Firedawg, I know they have the show at the Fashion Square Mall still but it was horrible when I went there in June, maybe 8-9 dealers was all. Goraiders, I'm in Leesburg, about 30 min. south of Ocala and an hour north of Orlando... and you? BTW, I'm into 50s-60s, not into the new stuff at all.

I'm in daytona bch,2 miles away from the track.Last one here was not to many
dealers either,all the 50-60's stuff ungraded was way overpriced as usual.
Good luck,isn't there something out in ocala monthly?

The one in Ocala is POOR at best 4-5 dealers. I think it may have gone to every other month now. It's getting to where the BST boards on here and eBay are the ONLY options, which I don't like. There's nothing better than seeing the cards in hand. There was one older dealer that came to Ocala and had nice stuff with decent prices and he hasn't been in about 18 months. The promoter/organizer said he was ill.

There hasn't been a decent one down here is Saint Petersburg since 1994.

I went to a store in North Tampa, actually the town is called Lutz but that's not the exact name I'm looking for. The owner was named Andy Stoltz. He had some really nice 60s baseball and football(raw). Specifically 63&64 baseball. I can't think of the name of that area for the life of me. I think the store is closed now though

His store was right between Land O Lakes and Lutz and it it is closed.
The shows Mark Rogers puts on are okay, but nothing great. There's certainly not much to choose from.

leadoff4

Yes, Land o' Lakes was the town I was thinking of. He had some decent stuff but was really high in his stuff also if you know what I mean. Book price for a '63 common is okay is some cases but definitely not all!
