I plan on being there Saturday. Look forward to seeing everybody. Will be looking for Space/Target Moon to complete the sets. Need 3 Space and 5 Pink Back Target Moon, if any dealers have some of these stashed away... Also, anybody with base singles of Cheers, I'll bring my extras too, and extra Chocolate Frogs.

Had a great time at the Chicago show yesterday. Did not find much of what I was looking for though. I was looking for singles of Cheers and one dealer did have quite a few, but I got 4 out of 9. He also had some really nicely priced autos, got a Julia Duffy Cheers auto, she was also a regular on Bob Newhart Show. In fact, several dealers were selling autos cheap, like $5 - $10, so I got a couple of them. Other than that, got some wrestling cards, odds and ends. From Paul Maiellairo I picked up a Treasure Chest of Art Sketch of Lando Calrisian by "Cabbie", a great sketch.
Show was busier than usual, lots more people and more kids. Many more Pokemon dealers, who had some nice stuff but that doesn't do anything for me. Saw a lot of Card Talkers, Stevetrek, Scott Thomas, xtime, Greg Geerts and more. Look forwqard to next show, hopefully the Pokemonsters won't take over completely.

This is what happened in the uk. Gaming cards and cosplay just wiped non sports off the map and going to shows was suddenly a thing of the past.

It was great being at the show. I was able to get a base set of GOT Legends of the Realm and some Harry Potter chocolate frog cards that I needed. The show was well attended on both days. Foundation Promo Card P1 from Rittenhouse and Eulie's Vision P3(originally intended for the fall 2024 show) were given out at the Admission table.

Good show. Great to see long time friends like Don and more. Some were absent due to illness and scheduling. Getting the next show date out ASAP may help. Happy to see some returning collectors. Lots of activity and plenty of selection both days including base and chase to help finish off sets, especially those one-card wonders. The room looked busy several times. Also, enjoyed the Friday night dinner. The Music Hall of Fame was the hot topic. Go BTO!!! Saturday we had a visit from the band "Angel". TCG was definitely present. Hope to see everyone at the FALL Show.
