With all the Philly threads, there just didn't seem to be a place to post this. So I am starting a general thread for the show.

Just a reminder that the last day to Staybridge Suites Allentown Bethlehem Airport is this Wednesday, April 10. So if you are interested in booking there, don't delay!! The Staybridge is the first of our three hotels to expire the special show rate. Rooms must be book at at the others two hotels by 4/19 (host hotel: Hilton Garden Inn) or 5/1 (Allentown Wingate by Wyndham).

There is information about all three of the Philly Non-Sports Card Show hotels here:

As we are less than a month away from the Philly Show consider attending the unofficial official Red Robin gathering on Saturday May 4th at the Red Robin right next to the host hotel the Hilton Garden Inn. Festivities will commence at 9:30; it's a great time to bring cards to trade, talk cards, or just get to know other collectors and meet up with old friends. If you have a box bring it for the always entertaining group box opening; we are still waiting for someone to pull a spectacular hit! You also don't want to miss out on the onion ring towers or silly hats!! No need to sign up, just head on over on Saturday night we usually have a group of at least 20 or more, and I suspect that some Card Talk members from abroad will have endeared themselves to the Red Robin staff well before the gathering so we should have outstanding service!

Jo Anne and I will be there! This time maybe before 90% of the card talkers leave the Red Robin for the evening!

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Mike.

We have published a list of Philly Show dealers/exhibitors today:

Philly Non-Sports Card Show Exhibitors

We have several new dealers who have not exhibited at the show previously, or not in some time anyway. Those include Bob Marsella, John Fallone, Ron Prager and Lance Hawk. Another new dealer, Darrell Swigart, sells vintage non-sport and sports cards and specializes in cards from the 50s thru 70s.

Josh Evans of Lelands.com will be looking for major collections and primo items for his consignment auctions, so if you have anything that you think fits the bill and want to consign to Lelands, be sure to bring a list.

See you at the show.

22 dollars of mine will be there and 8 dollars for admission. I have a proxy who is helping me out there!

Looking good

Just a reminder that the last day to book at the Hilton Garden Inn Allentown Airport, our host hotel, is this Friday, April 19. So if you are interested in booking there, don't delay!! Our block at the Staybridge has already expired and the block at the Allentown Wingate by Wyndham will expire on May 1st.

PICK ME PICK ME

Well, see everyone soon. I will be accepting any of the Treasure Chest of Art cards that may be finished from any of the participating artists that may be coming to the show. If you still have some blanks or finished cards, please bring them to Philly. We are almost to our goal to finish the project, but still short quite a bit of cards.
Thanks again for all of your help and continued support of the Foundation.
Take care and see you then,
Paul
