Hey Everyone,

Does anyone know if there will be new promo cards at the show ? I heard that there are major changes with the event this time around, new folks running it, so the show may seem different than in the past

Not sure what promo cards will be there. Some Doctor Who Series 5-7 P1 cards will be given out.

I attended the show on Saturday and while it was more of a subdued show than in the past, there were still many bargains and great cards to be found.
It was good to see the regular dealers, Bill and Celeste from Looky Here Cards, Brian Schemine, Dave Hartmann, and Bob (xtime from Card Talk). Bob helped me get almost to the end on my 1957 Space set and took a huge chunk out of my 1976 Star Trek needs.
Did trades with Greg Geerts and Steve Kitsberg, picked up a bunch of Chocolate Frogs. Spent some time chatting with many collectors, including a guy named Kurt who brought his little dog, who was an absolute joy to be around.
Ed Webb's presence was noticeably missing, the only promo was Doctor Who Season 5-7 P1.

Thanks for the review, Don!

Back safe in MO.

Thanks Don for your kind review.

The show had virtually something for everyone.
Vintage singles sets, boxes, packs and wrappers were in abundance. Modern stuff galore...autos, relics, sketches, packs and more.
This was the second show where 1000's of base cards were available to help finish off sets.
At least three tables had Pokemon, and there were comic books, toys, and sports cards.

We also had our usual post show dinner at the hotel restaurant Friday. About a dozen attended with good food and friends.

Paul had his Hospital charity table. Plenty of ways to do good.

Hope to see everyone October 18-19.


If you sent or are going to send me an email please do so until you get a reply. Thanks.
