I've been thinking for quite a while as to whether I should get Buckner and Mookie to sign this. This was my ticket ... man, what a game that was.
For $45.00 it seems like a good deal. Also, with a Sunday paid admission, you get a McLain AND Kingman for free. (At least that's the way I read it.) Might have to take a ride there if the weather is decent. Have not been to a White Plains show since Gloria ran them.
STAY HEALTHY!

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

Go for it. I'll be there as well, and it looks like a decent show as these go.
I used a Mookie/Buckner signed photo to frame with my ticket stub, but sigs on the actual ticket would be cool.
I've always wondered about that parking... but I've never really seen it... If I'm coming up Central Ave from Exit 5, and then typically turn left to go to the parking lot... what's the best way to behind the Convention center?
Would I make a u-turn to go the opposite way on Central Ave and then turn right just after the Convention center (that right hand turn just before Staples?) Or do I get behind it via the Bronx River Parkway?
Here's an aerial shot (from google maps). Looking at the County Center, you want to be on the left of it and go down County Center Road (which is behind Staples). Sometimes there is parking on that street. Or, right after The County Center back lot (I imagine this is where dealers park) is an office building. I have parked in their lot for years and never had any problem. Hope that helps.
Having just come back from the show an hour ago, I think that it was the best WP show I've been to so far.
There was a dealer there - nice as can be, that had some beautiful vintage cards. Very nice for their grade - well centered - I'm kicking myself for not picking up the '51 Mays he had nor the t206 Cobb or Mathewson. I was there for my 4 year old son, and I told myself I would cut back on cards this year, but man, he had some blazers and very reasonable prices.
Picked up a James Harden card for my son, and 2 boxes of Heritage for he and I to go through and have some putting a set together.
I wait over an hour to get Dave Kingman....Denny Mclain is sitting at the next table, can I get him, too? NO, I have to go back an wait on another line over an hour.
2 1/2 hours?
That doesn't even count the time I spent on Buckner/Wilson
I go to 3-4 shows a year at White Plains, this was the worst organized!

I'm sure I'll be there that day as well.
And yes, I think McLain and Kingman are free

I see you had better seats than me

Collecting:
Any unopened Baseball cello and rack packs and boxes from the 1970's and early 1980s.
I will be there Sunday and may pop in Saturday for Staub to sign a RC (it's nice being 6 miles away).
Topps/OPC Hockey 1966-Present base sets
That can save you $10 in parking.
May pop in Saturday to get La Gande Orange to sign a RC I have.

Thanks! I will be there today, and will park there.

Thanks for the tip! Was nice not to have to pay for parking.
