    When is it. Is the vintage selection any good.

    I"m in Saturday morning. Probably won't buy a single card but will stock up on supplies and drop a few submissions.

    I think Garvey and Cey sign there every show! The old-timers still talk about Davey Lopes, Ron Cey, Bill Russell and Garvey from the 70's.
    Running an Ebay store sure takes a lot more time than a person would think!

    I'll probably go...although I'll see the same cards I've seen in the last 5 shows there.

    Is this going to be the last show there? I think I read that somewhere on these boards this spring/early summer.

    I'm going. Will have $200,000 in cash (in a large brief case) buying all the modern exmt material I can find!

    Should be fun!

    word is the show is thinking about moving to a new center in Ontario- that will certainly kill it.

    Ontario (dies.....)

    The last few times I've been to Hollywood Park, is mostly for nostalgia, you better grab it while it lasts.

    I don't think Naxcom has ever seen $2,000 in cash, much less $200,000.

    Does anyone remember any big deals going down at the show? Or big walk in material?

    All I can think of is the guy that had a big run of vintage wax a few years ago, he had a run of 50's packs. Asking six figures for all of it. I think, $100 k, $120k?

    Cat - Probably the easiest directions I can offer would be: Coming
    from O.C. is to take the 405 North, exit Century, go right (East), then
    about 1 or 2 miles you will see the Race Track on the left.

    Is there a site that advertises this show? I would be interested in seeing what is being charged for autos.
  • yankeeno7yankeeno7 Posts: 9,253 ✭✭✭
    nevermind...found it online

    This one might've been a new low.
    There was actually 2 tables selling jewellery. A giant minor league mascot was walking thru the show, and was definitely symbolic- this show has become very minor league. Half of the front tables were only showing items for upcoming auctions- it would seem like the really nice stuff doesn't get offered for sale, but goes in auctions. The PSA table seemed slow relative to previous shows, and if you were coming for autographs it was mostly local former semi stars- Russell, Cey, etc. Gordie Howe was there, but other than that no HOFers.
    Rumour is this show is relocating to a new center in Ontario, which should take it out of its misery.
