Anyone here go to the Jack Berke Albany NY shows?

Thinking of making the 2 hr trip next week for the show.

Was wondering if anyone has gone to these in the past?

Im not talking about the very small monthly show, rather the 70 ish table show held in the Polish Community Center

I believe there will be a Mets reunion next week but I might go not for the autos but for modern cards (GU, autos, rcs, prospects). Any advice?

The ones at the Polish Community Center are awful, I wouldnt think this would be anything special either.

I live just outside of albany, and frequent most shows at the polish community center. Compared to any real show, like the nationals, its a joke. But, living just 10 minutes away, it's a pretty good gathering. I would not make a 2 hour trip there, unless there was someone signing I really, really, wanted, but for the short drive it takes me, it's worth it.

You will find your average mix of vintage, graded, wax, ect.. But it's usually light on prospect stuff and much heavier in to wax and vintage, on the average. Everyone there is usually willing to deal and I almost always have my offers accepted.

So, to recap, if it's local, it's worth the time to check it out, but to travil 2 hours would be something not worth the time.
