I didn't take too many pictures this time at the Philly Show but our resident photo guru, Cliff Tooker did. I won't have Cliff's pictures for a day or two so in the meantime, here are a few from me to hold you over.


Rittenhouse Archives is under new management -- well, not really. This is a prop from the set of LOST. This banner from Hurley's Chicken Shack will get cut up for prop cards

I vote for Paul. He was definitely the cutest. He really needs one of those hats!

Looks like everyone had a great time at Red Robin. I was planning on going but ate a large dinner and once I got back to my hotel room my body refused to get out of bed.

I had a great time at the show. I always enjoy seeing friends at the show and catching up on all the latest news. I was watching tables for Derek Woywood and 258 West Authentic so I didn't have too much time to wander around during the show but I did sneak a few minutes here and there. I picked up a set of the Magnet cards for the Cartoon Sketches set and the base set from the SciFi and Horror Movie Posters series 2 set. Meant to get the binder for the SciFi set as well but somehow forgot about it. I picked up a mini-master set of Warehouse 13 cards from Ted aka TBear (thanks for the great deal!). Picked up some oddball cards in trade as well, but haven't finshed unpacking yet so I'm not totally sure what they were (but some were Disney related). On Sunday I remembered to visit Ed and get one of his P2 promo cards.
Thanks to everyone involved with putting the CardTalk breakfast together. It was great being able to hear what Rittenhouse and NSU have coming up and the Q&A sessions are always appreciated. Kudos to Harris for the UStream broadcast! Thanks also to Breygent Marketing, Rittenhouse Archives, Sidekick Media for being at the show and providing promotional cards.

Ha ha....That's pretty good, Graham.

Here are more Philly Show pictures. All of the ones that follow are from Cliff Tooker, NSU's Subscription Services Specialist and NSU Photographer Extraordinaire. Well, all but three of them that were taken by Beck Kramer, anyway, but you'll know which ones those are when you see them .

Here's a shot of the room

Our friend Janet manned the show Prize Table. Janet was the person most responsible for helping us raise $420 for the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation. I'm not saying she's pushy but a few collectors had to get some first aid for their bent and twisted arms after leaving the table.


And here is Neil who also helped us out at the show.

Here's NSU Managing Editor Marlin Toser wearing Carol's name badge, for some reason.
