I think Hammer to took this one to prove that he made it to the show. Either that or to show that I made he and Graham put up the banner! Graham did such a good job putting up the banner that he gets to come back every Spring and Fall to do it again! | |||

Well, after what seems like an age, here's my report. Sorry it's late, sir As a first time visitor to this show, I was warned not to expect too much as I'd already experienced the mammoth that is San Deigo. Believe me, if it's cards you want, this is the place to be. I, together with Hammer were Saturday The queue was huge! There was mutterings of not needing to get a two-day pass as it would be Sunday when we got in For me, it was straight to the artist pool. Got some great pre-ordered commissions (see below). Every one was beyond my expectation. Thank you all so much. I was going to have a quick scan of the tables, but everyone had so much good stuff, I had to stop and have a good look. I MET OWM!!! This was one of my best memories of the weekend. Joanna is lovely and I got to hug a legend! Met Sara (more hugs). She possibly has the cutest son on the planet. Great little chap. I was lucky enough to get a Betty Page pack. The talent that is Ted Dastick Jr. is my commission choice. After the show, it was the Casino and then Red Robin It was like a who's who of Card Talk. Absolutely brilliant. Together with the artists, I was in geek heaven. Me and Hammer were the last to leave - an English tradition when there's a beer involved. Sunday Great Card Talk meeting. Of all the raffle prizes to win, me and Hammer both got UK cards Off to the show. A lot quiter that Saturday, but this gave a lot more time to talk to the dealers, artists and Card Talkers. Of all those we met, the manic energy of Kevin LaPore will stick with me forever. Bought a couple of boxes of Tudors (ask Hammer what autos I got ). Left about 2.00pm for the looong journey home. In no particular order, I'd like to thank (where's the Oscar?)... Harris, for all the energy he puts into the show and making us both feel so welcome. Roxanne and Marlin for keeping everything in order. Lovely to see you both. Bill DeFranzo who was so generous with promos. Another box ticked in the 'must meet' column. Chris Verdecchia whose main aim was to point out items that would make my bank manager weep Mrs. Batman for putting up with me. Batman. Wouldn't be a show without Bob. All the artists who were beyond my wildest expectations. and finally, Hammer. If it wasn't for Kevin, certain parts of the weekend would have been unbearable. Thanks. Here endeth my first Philly report.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Graham, | |||

Commissions... Axebone - possibly the most organised artist ever Elaine Perna - too nice for words Rhiannon Owens - never mind the great art, I wanted to keep her Tony Perna - What a great bloke. Exactly how I imagined he would be. This Three-carder deserves to be in a gallery. Although nothing from Ted Dastick Jr. or Sean Pence, commissions were spoken of. Just glad to be in these gents company. Best line-up of artists EVER Thank you one and all. | |||
