Here is a sampling of some promos that were interesting given out at the show, the Transformers was a surprise, the "Beauties of Vengance" was provided by Umbrella Trading Cards and was given out at the Card Talk meeting on Sunday morning, along with the Bettie Page metallic sub-set promo. There was a Walking Dead Comic promo, and an autographed version of the gorgeous Bettie Page promo puzzle that Veronica did!

That's an awesome Dr. Who sketch, Harris!

Here are some pictures I took with my phone:

Billy Mitchell and a blow-up of his Twin Galaxies trading card


Twin Galaxies had blow-ups made for all of the card celebrities that came to the The Philly Non-Sports Card Show for the debut of their trading cards to the hobby. You'll notice the NSU price guide cover on fourth or fifth one in.

A trunk of Joe (and munchkins) for Philly Show dealers. NSU Price Guru Bill DeFranzo has started a new tradition of sponsoring Munchkins and Coffee for Philly Show dealers on Saturday morning.

It was another great show, thanks Harris and everyone else that helped...see you in October...wait...I mean June!

Had a great weekend at the show. Spent almost $2000 on cards to bring back to my customers in MA and took in over 100,000 cards in trade. Made some nice trades with Laura, the Headless Horseman, Tommy Breyer, and many others. My son said I would have the high score on Tetris based on how I managed to get all the odd sized boxes into the truck with no gaps between the boxes. The ride home thru heavy rains was not very much fun. Saw one car that wasn't making it home that night as it was laying in the woods. My wife and son came down to help me watch the tables. It was their 1st time at Philly as dealers.
