Title: Philly and Vegas shows fall 2017
Post by: Brian Mc on May 07, 2017, 02:00:50 PM
Anybody,

  I'm trying to plan a getaway for this Fall. Questions:

1. When is the 2017 Fall Philly show? Usually in October, right?

2. Is there some kind of card show in Vegas, too? Any info, dates, etc?

Thanks for any insight.

The Vegas venue is slated for early February 2018 at Circus Circus. The artist list is still being worked out but more details should be coming soon.

February? Wow, I was WAY off! Good info though. Still sounds like a good time to getaway from cold Cincinnati  :D

If this is it, how much of it is devoted to non-sports cards, specifically Wackies and the like?

That's it! By the way, it's geared more towards GPK and diecast car collectors, but last year's show had something for everyone.

If enough Wacky collectors go, we'll show those GPK collectors a thing or two!   8)

Super ToyCon is a blast!  Tons of toys and they also have a Custom Toy Contest.  Here's a pic from last year of my son Josh, our own Chad Scheres and their trophies.  My son Josh adores his but Chad didn't end up keeping it but that's another story.

Well I always plan to attend the Philly Show, but I can't help show up GPK people at the Vegas show.

Oh no... I used to collect 1:64 cars. Had about 2000, but I gave them all to my kids. Lord, if I go to this ToyCon, I'll be a slobbering mess. I love diecast cars!!

HEH! The trophy I won was bigger than this one but they gave it to someone else by mistake. Good thing too cause I drove and didn't want to drive home with it strapped to the roof.
