Been a while since I've attended a show, but this one will be worth the wait! Got Halsey, my faithful sidekick with me this time! She's a miracle worker with markers, so make sure to stop by for some art or just to say HI!
October is shaping up to be a ton of fun!

Looking forward to it, Neil! I'll be setting up a table.

Weird to think that it was 23 years ago we all made it out there for Philly. Totally different world back then. Anyone want to trade a: borderless "2022", off-center, in PSA-1 grade... for a NM/MT-9 glossy, way-back, "1999"?

Would anyone here do me a favour? If you’re going to the Philly show and Sidekick Lab has a booth set up there. Could you ask Tom why he is not replying to my email about product he owes me? It’s from the last Mars Attacks Kickstarter project. Would be great to be able to find out what’s going on. Please and thank you!!

For an upcoming show that is a week out from tomorrow and no posts on the thread since the middle of Sept, I don't think the interest is in many of you that used to attend this show religiously every spring and fall yr in and yr out. I Think in over the 30 yrs I've attended the Philly show, I Think I've only missed out on about 3 shows if memory serves me correctly. I Admit their are many of you out their that would of course like to make an appearance, but depending on where you're from, that of course can be a factor. Anyway whoever does show up for next weekend, I look forward to seeing y'all.

If anyone can get me the promos, I'd appreciate it. Enjoy the show!!

Every year as soon as the dates are released, I make my hotel reservations hoping that I'll make the trip. Once again, I wish I could go, but it's too much of a physical and mental strain to drive 7-8 hours each way for a weekend and then recover for work on Monday. Ah, when I wore a younger man's clothes, it wouldn't have bothered me so much, but I have to admit what a drag it is getting old.
-
I too would love to go, but it is way too far from my lair in the Midwest to be feasible. Have fun to those of you who can make it!
-
I travel the 885 miles (each way) every fall and every spring since 2012. I will be going again in a few days. They do have a Wacky-ish card this time. It is available in the sunday packs.
-
See you on Sunday Mark.

I intend to be there on Saturday, with my extra OS stickers and puzzle pieces. Hoping the Brick Fest doesn’t take over the parking lot like the gun show did a year ago.
-

Beats the alternative.
-
I plan to attend Saturday. Should be bringing some nice stuff, including some high grade PSA OS cards to trade/sell/something of the like. Should be good!

Well, not the "whole" Wacky gang without us annoying West-coasters.
Philly 1999!... can't beat that one.
Live in the past, when things actually made sense, I say.

This got me scanning through my old calendars...2002 2nd trip to Philly....2005....3rd trip. I love those days. Too bad it was marred in the end. Got to find that 1st trip date.....
-
Wasn't there just a video up on eBay from the 1999 show and reunion? Sold for $200. Sure wish I could see that video. If one of the forum members bought it I can make copys... just sayin.

Neil,
Please confirm the Wacky Promo is Sunday only. I normally would attend on Sat; but am targeting Sunday as I do not want to miss this promo.
I can't make both days.
Regards, Andrew

Just touched down in Philly! We're looking forward to a fun-filled weekend full of friends, fans and a few cards! Got a really special surprise presentation for the Saturday night dinner!

So this was probably the most interesting Philly show I’ve participated in…

Nice score!
Thanks Ernie. I never really thought I'd get my hands on one of these. Now I only need Cracked Animals and a few more number variations.

Was it from Dan McKee?

Was it from Dan McKee?
Nope. According to a card I got from him, his name is “Mark M.”. I believe he is new to the show. He had a full diecut set with Ratz/Cracked, a few smaller stacks of diecut singles, and two other Ratz singles. He said he found them at a show in Chicago. Greg bought the other Ratz single and is selling it on his site.
Dan was not in attendance for this show.

We will be at the Spring Show - Sorry we could not make this weekend's show,

I Had a terrific show, hanging out with collectors like Greg G, Tom P, Matt S, Joe L, Bill C, Bill K, Marc S, Rob P, And Mark/his parents from Harrisburg. Forgive me if anyone was left out. Dates for the spring show are May 20/21st at the Greater Oaks Expo center. As far as pictures taken, I'll post them this week. As far as items picked up, a ton of single checklist pieces and puzzles, got Neil's Haunted House artwork piece. Out of the puzzle pieces bought, got about 15 single pieces from Series 16. Dinner was held at the host hotel the Hilton Garden Inn, same meal as the last show. Chicken with gravy/mushroom, pasta, salad, rolls, cookies, and soda and coffee for a beverage. Many great door prizes such as M.A. Sketch cards, boxes of the new Creepshow set, GPK Items just to name a few. The real fun for me was hanging out with Neil Camera and his delightful daughter Halsey from KS. Was able to help out 2 collectors with the promo packs which I Got with admission. OK Wacky family circle your calendars for the dates mentioned for the Spring show, so until then, C Y'all in "23"

What were the Wacky promos at the show? I saw the Haunted House promo card on eBay for both Wacky Packages and Garbage Pail Kids.

Love how Mark recaps the full dinner menu from each show. a surefire way to reel in the foodies among us.
BTW, you mentioned boxes of Creepshow cards as a door prize. I assume it’s based on the new Creepshow series, as opposed to the old George Romero / Steven King movie. Has anyone been watching that series? Just wondering if it’s any good. A new season of American Horror Story starts this week, and it looks like it has potential, although sometimes in past seasons it’s been unfulfilled potential with that show.

I like this show (AHS) more when its done one stand alone episode at a time, more like Twilight Zone. When they try to stretch a given theme for an entire season, it seems to get very convaluted, boring, and far from the original track.

Which seasons were done that way? I’ve only seen a few complete seasons, but they were all continuous stories. I felt Freakshow was the best, though I missed Asylum and heard good things about it. Later seasons were also injected with political messaging which IMO detracts greatly from the show’s purpose (to be SCARY) and creates a needlessly annoying distraction. I’m going to give this new season a shot, but wouldn’t be surprised if I end up giving up on it.

I went to the show on Sunday. It was my first time going to this new location. Didn't have much money to spend, but it was fun looking at all of the cards and talking with some really nice people.

I Still have 2 promo packs from this past weekend's show, I Don't have both GPK Cards, but you will get at least 1 of them and the Wacky promo card is in their. $10 each covers cost and s/h. Check, M.O. Or Paypal.

One pack has found a good home.

The ghost of Mark Macaluso??? Could it be?
That guy was fun. Tragic loss too. Most expensive dealer ever, and funny as hell. He once let me take a photo of him selling me a crappy "Bone Ami" for $100, poking fun at himself for his prices... which by today's standards were an absolute bargain. He didn't actually take my $100 of course...well, not for the "Bone Ami" anyway. I think that got me 10 crispy mint common diecuts if I remember. I don't believe in ghosts, though.

I got a bunch of minty dies from Mark back in the mid 90s for $7 each. That was my first exposure to the diecuts. I also scored a 1-44 nrmt/mint die set off the Wrapper Magazine in 1995... those were the days!

Mark was also selling Scoot no copyright cards for $5 each.
