Show appears to be shaping up.

Hope to see a lot of trading friends there.

About 1 month to go...

Still waiting to hear on some more promos. Looks like we'll be last minute again on some.

Ed

I am looking forward to doing the show as usual...hopefully there will be some new faces to go with all of the regular crazies.

If anyone is going to be looking for specific items, feel free to email me ahead of time so I can have it on the side for you.

Updated the website today...

Added Iggy and Carl to the dealer list

Added Connie Faye to the Artist list

Attention Vintage Collectors!

I've been trying to bring vintage dealers into the Chicago Show from the start. That's one aspect of collecting that is under-represented by the dealers we have had in the past.

I'm happy to announce we have 2 dealers with vintage stock coming in April!

One with 60's, 70's, and 80's cards
One with 50's, 60's, and a little 70's. Mostly PSA graded.

Full details are on the website. Updated today!

Artist Charles Simpson was just accepted by Upper Deck to do sketch cards for a yet-to-be-revealed set.

So both Charles and Dan Gorman are sketch card artists now.

Ed

Nice! Congratulations Charles -- looking forward to saying hi!

Jon

If you are needing base singles to complete sets...NOW...would be the best time to forward your want list.

I hate to announce that due to work related schedules, Charles Simpson will be at the show on Saturday ONLY.

Ed

Updated the exhibitor list today. Check it out!

Looks like a good mix of vendors this time around, including several first timers.

Ed

This is shaping up good Ed. A nice mix of dealers,we should be able to find anything we need.

Last chance to forward want list and try to work out trade pre-show.
Thanks to all those that have responded.

I 'm getting my want list put together. I'm sure I'll find a thing or two I need. Lol

I'm looking for volunteers!

Liz can't make the show, so I need some help at the front table. I figured 2 shifts a day: Friday 3-4:30 and 4:30-7 and Saturday 9-12 and 12-3.

Don already has claimed the last shift on Saturday. If anyone else would like to help with a shift let me know here or by email: shows@nonsportcardshows.com

Ed

No show goddess? Awwwwwwww mannnnnnn! Liz is the one that people actually want to see.

Yep, there goes half our crowd...UGGH!!!

FYI...I will have some interesting vintage cards on hand as well from the 30's & 40's, plus the 70's and up.

Honestly, I shouldn't be there either, but it's partly my show.

My son graduates from college on that Saturday. So Liz will be there. And I'll be in Chicago missing it.

And with her starting college next year as well, we might not have a Show Goddess anymore.

Ed

It was wait-and-see right up to the end, but we will have a promo card from 5FINITY. Exactly what will be revealed when I have the cards in hand.

Great to hear that Steve Frank has hooked us up with a promo, too bad it appears most of the other manufacturers forgot about us. I was kinda hoping that we might see something for one of the two Star Wars sets from Topps or one of the 865 Marvel sets from UD & RA (I might be slightly off with the number of Marvel sets for the year ) or even Breygent or Cryptozoic.

Oh well, I am still looking forward to seeing everybody.
