Congrats to the organisers on this show.

Free entry, free parking, door prizes, loads of vendors.

we can only dream about a show like this here in the uk.

I will be there and so will my son, Ian. He goes mainly to humor me and to get sushi at the sushi place nearby.

He does always get trade/buy some magic cards while he is there.

This looks like it is shaping up to be a great show! If you want to be a vendor, please reach out to chicagononsport@gmail.com.

I expect to be there with two tables full of modern and vintage.
Also have rare sealed boxes, blasters, packs and more.

Now is the time to make any requests or to arrange a pre-show trade.

Together let's make this the best show ever.

The card show is a little over a month away and shaping up nicely. There will old and new vendors, promo cards, and there are plans for other features.

I hope to see other card talkers at the show.

I will be posting the vendors who set up at the show. Today we are starting with Looky Here

Bill sets up at the spring and fall shows. He will have new and old releases and other collectibles including action figures.

The dealers' room is busting at the seams for this show. There will be many of the previous vendors and several new additions to the dealer line up featuring vintage and new Non-Sport with some new additions featuring TCG cards.

Please feel free post what type of items you are looking for to help our dealers prepare!

Here is an idea that many dealers overlook. Recent singles. Sets from the last couple of years or so such as James Bond No Time to Die or Cheers are two I am still looking for. it is impossible to get a full base set from a single box and sometimes from 2 boxes.

Ring the diner bell?
Everybody has to eat, so why not eat with fellow collectors and vendors after the show?

Join us for an informal gathering after the show closes at 7 on Friday in the hotel's restaurant: BURGER THEORY.


Nothing fancy, but you can have an adult beverage if you like and have dinner with a bunch of like minded people.

Everyone is responsible for their own tab, and PLEASE remember to tip the wait staff as we show up at the end of their shift and a bunch of individual checks is extra work for them.
