Stopped by the Strongsville Ohio Vintage Show today...

Great seeing an almost exclusive vintage only show. About 10 minutes from home, which is even better! As far as what I collect....pre-1955 graded football...not much to be found. Stopped by SGC talked a little with Brian Dwyer. PSA and Beckett were there too. Had one great pick-up. Bought a PSA 7 1953 Bowman Marion Motley for $150. Real Tough card to find...especially in 6 and up.

Does anyone know what the pop report on a PSA 7 53 Motley is?

Anyone else stop by? Any good finds?

I'll be there tomorrow. Looking forward to chatting with Leroy Kelly, and finding some oddball vintage stuff.

Hey Bigdaddy,

The Motley in a PSA 7 has a current pop of 28, and a 12 in PSA 8.

I was there yesterday and bought a few cards. I met a few board members as well as Brian from SGC, all nice guys. Pretty good show for older stuff in my opinion.

BTW, this thread is worhless without a scan!

I thought it was a really good show overall. Great show for set builders. Mr. Fattymacs and I enjoyed his first Five Guys Burger too. Thanks again. Here is my best pickup:

Picked it up along with a bunch of nicely centered commons that will probably go in to PSA in the next couple of months.

^^^ That's a really nice McCovey. Congrats on finding it.

It sounds like everyone had some nice finds at the show. Wish I could have been there.

Hey Ryan,

Congratulations on your pickup of a 1953 Bowman Marion Motley. According to VCP, I can see that it's been almost 3 years since one has publicly sold - with a similar story for PSA 8 and PSA 9. Tough card!

I've found that buying a card in-person at a show produces a better memory than a remote buying transaction. It's something that makes me feel more attached to a card because I remember the seller, the feel of the show, maybe even some negotiation.

A "vintage-themed" card show. Mega-cool.
