How many tables is the Hayward show expecting to have, have you been to this show before, and will it be held at a mall? haha.

Looks like 40 tables, Southland Mall.

I've never been there but I will almost definitely go since I go to Cal State East Bay which is in Hayward.

I updated the original post with the new information, I will continue to do so for every new show in the area.

Cool thanks. I think the Hayward show I am going to pass on. I am in the North Bay past Petaluma, and the Hayward show doesn't seem quiet worth it enough to go to.

It's a two day show so I'll check it out and report back. While its only 40 tables if more than 5 are worth seeing it will be better than the 90 table Serramonte show.

Just saw this thread for the first time. I'll probably go to the Hayward show, though though Classic Materials shows are either pretty good or barren, depending on which dealers show up. THey have been getting a lot better though, which is encouraging. There are a couple dealers there that I always end up finding something they have I can use.

The Serramonte wasn't as good as it has been in the past. I think there was a higher percentage of beanie baby/toys/random crap tables there then there have been in the past two shows.

Anything in particular you would be looking for? I usually bring a good amount of cards with me.

Pretty weak. A lot of the same old guys with beanie babies and overpriced 90's stuff. A couple good dealers were there, and the guy who sells boxes and good prices was present. I bought a box of Bowman Chrome for $45. Other than the box, I only spent $7, and that was all at one table. I wanted to spend more, but simply couldn't find anything.

What type of stuff were you looking to buy? Is it even worth going? I was hoping to sell a couple things but if its dead I will save my afternoon.

Re: Official Bay Area, CA Show Thread, Next: Hayward Oct. 11/12

I was mostly going there for low-end to mid-end Red Sox autos and GU. Ther problem was that most of the dealers had pretty much the same old stuff. There were a couple guys with A's/Giants prospects, and a couple guys with some higher-end, but for me it was a bust. There just wasn't enough to look at.

Re: Official Bay Area, CA Show Thread, Next: Milpitas Oct. 23-26

Re: Official Bay Area, CA Show Thread, Next: Milpitas Oct. 23-26

Would anyone in the bay area be interested in meeting up at the show for a buy/sell/trade type deal? I know a lot of the vendors don't have all the stuff we might be looking for but I'm sure it would be interesting to see each others cards.
