I might be there Friday night to get Ray Bourque's auto and complete my set of living Bruins with their numbers retired.

Going Saturday, I find this is the better of the Shriners Shows

Agreed. And this is the strongest autograph lineup they have had.

Anybody go today? Heading there tomorrow and was looking for some feedback on today's show.

I was there around 4:30 for about an hour. Got Ray Bourque's autograph then hit the floor. Pretty good attendance, but I would classify it as 'quiet'. It was pretty easy to walk the aisles and check out the tables. I am guessing the weekend it would be much busier.

Saw my first 1952 Mantle (forget the grade but the card looked great) - $45k - just wow. I have seen the auctions on ebay, but to actually see the card with that price tag was actually pretty cool. Even the PSA 1's were going for $4500.

Lots of stuff. Almost all the dealers had BUYING signs. Not a lot of unopened dealers compared to the rest of the tables, and what was there was along the back for the most part. I could have probably emptied my wallet there, but I am at a point in my collection resurrection that I want to have a shopping list before I start shelling out money. The only thing I did buy was some baseball holders for my sister-in-law. My nephew (14 yo) wants them for all his home runs and one guy had them 10/$15.

Wish I could go back this weekend - good auto lineup and I would have my shopping list ready .

I went today hoping to pick up a nice 53 Satchel Paige and a nice 59 Bob Gibson.
This was a great show for set builders. Lots of raw cards from 52 to present. The vintage HOFers were way overpriced. I found a few Gibson rookies but all were OC. The Paige card was readily available but the cheapest I found was a raw copy in good condition....$250.
Memory Lane had some nice cards there for the upcoming auction. Mr. Mint was buying. 707 had an incredible selection as usual. The PSA booth was slow when I saw it.
Not too much unopened like BostonAmerica said.
Well, I struck out on my wish list, but picked up a 58 Mantle All Star for my collection. So it wasn't a total loss.

Hope you guys had better luck than I did.

I was there Saturday picking up high number commons for my 72 Topps set. i did really well and was able to pick up a ton to get me closer to finishing the set. And I also picked up a few cheap Yankee autos.
