Light the lamp! Good job man.

 

[bigpops65]

The show should be just as good as always. Hope people take the time to show up. It is the best local show every year. Hope to see many of you there this weekend.

John: You'll likely see me there today if you are at the auditorium.

Is there any confirmation of PSA not attending?

 

[klute14]

Kevin and John, any wax guys there? I am sure Seymour will be there but anyone else?

 

[steve2112]

I can personally say from experience that if this show is anything like it was last year, it will be a VERY fun weekend indeed!!!

 

[bigpops65]

i am sure Seymore will be there, but I don't know how he got through the storm. I believe he is on Staten Island.

Last year, I think D&A was there, but it looked more like a wax dump on their end.

There are always a couple of others that have wax. If Seymore isn't there, it could push prices higher.

Hey everyone,

Yes, our buddy Seymour arrived this morning as usual. He is fine and ready to deal. There are a few other wax dealers as well, including Steve from NH with tons of cheap older wax.

About half of the dealers arrived and checked in today. That is on par with our usual set up progress. Tomorrow will be a busy morning before the show opens to the public at noon.

On the auto guest update, MAB Celebrity services cancelled Ozzie Smith and Brooks Robinson due to storm related issues. We got the call this morning on that. Sureshot promotions has the updated listing at their site.

See ya there.

Don't know if someone from PSA will be there to take stuff, but on site authenticators have cancelled.

There will also be this dealer with cheap older wax for sale at $5 per box ... oh, that will be me!

See you in the morning John!

Kevin already practically gives his stuff away! Good deals to be had at his table. Make sure you visit him! Kevin, you should put a sign up or something that indicates you are an FCB member and your user id bigpops65.

I'll have to buy a few packs of toploaders just to feel like it was worth the trip cause I doubt I will find cards I need.. but I will get to hang with my bro and my nephew which to me is just as much fun as digging through boxes in hopes of landing something!

 

[Jimmy Graham]

Ill be there with bowman chrome autos

Are you setting up or just walking around with stuff? I'm actually looking for chrome autos from all years but 2012, and bums too at that. If you have anything, send me a PM and I can work something out with you and pick up at that show or not. Either way, if you are looking to move some, I'd be interested.

 

[klute14]

Any reports from someone that went?
Paul, I will hit you up tomorrow when I get there.

Hey guys:

Quick report (I am exhausted, long day today)

* Saw John first thing this morning, greeting at check-in. Was able to chat with him a little later on. Looking forward to more this weekend.
* Seymour was there with wax, and maybe one other dealer with newer wax. My buddy has a case or two of 2012 Bowman Chrome he is selling.
* Lots of dealers, despite PSA claiming the show was cancelled (shake my fist at you PSA). I counted maybe one or two spots not filled today.
* For a Friday, a good show. Turnout was a little lighter than last year, but that could be a number of factors. I was consistently busy from about 11am (with dealers) until about 5pm, when I had a chance to roam around.
* Didn't see much out there that interested me, but I am looking to sell a lot this weekend, so buying wasn't an objective today. Have a couple of deals brewing.
* Keith (klute): Talked to John Ryan about your needs. Hopefully he remembers.
* John and I joked about having some sort of FCB sign or whatever. Since I have no FCB garb, I can tell you that when you walk in, go straight. I am on an end on the left, maybe a row or two before the bleachers. I have cheap game used and half price goes on the end cap and a shelving unit with junk wax and signed footballs/helmets/etc. I'll have a Pats hat on. Worst case, find John (jflan) and he'll point me out.
* Off to make some more boxes for tomorrow. Stop by and say hi!

Kevin

Oh, and BGS was there for RCR and subs (they seemed busy) and JSA was there as well. So is SCG.

Auto guests to cancel so far: Henderson, Robinson, Ozzie Smith and Mendoza.
