Philly Non-Sports Card Show - October 16 + 17 [NEW LOCATION]
We are excited to announce the next Philly Non-Sports Card Show will take place October 16 & 17 at our new location, the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center at Oak in Oaks, PA (Hall E). More details about guests, hotels, etc. will be coming soon. We are very excited to get back to (show) business! We hope to see you there.
I know that the Expo Center is a big complex. Will this be an expanded show with potentially more dealers, or will it be a room similar in size to the Merchant's Square Mall room? I've only ever been there for the Comic Con, but I've seen smaller shows taking place simultaneously in a different part of the building.
I just saw that Monster Mania is happening there the following weekend. With the place being as big as it is, I wonder if both shows happened at the same time how much spillover from Monster Mania there could potentially be? Especially if there were guests again, like Walter Day or the Benchwarmer girls, I could easily see increased interest in the show.

That sounds like a great idea. There used to be a big collectibles show in San Mateo. A music memorabilia show started running the same weekend at some point. I certainly went to both even finding cards at the music show.

Has anyone reserved a hotel room yet? The three locations linked on the Philly show website have different prices than the website says. Maybe there is a set number of rooms at that price?
When I tried to reserve a room at the Hilton Garden Inn it came up as $261 a night.

I did a while ago and got the show price.

By the way, Ted....Thanks for posting this. And whoops! I accidently edited your post instead of responded to it. Bad me. I put it back but it still has the edited note.
