I wished you owned the Tigers, then we could be both of you. They were horrible after the All Star Game. Sheesh.
Hope everyone had a fun time at the show.
Again, I'm at my other playground again. Cedar Point. The weather was a fabulous 75 and sunny today. Couldn't pass
it up.





On behalf of myself and other Yankee fans, We want to say Thank you to you and the Tiger fans for sending us Granderson & Thames-Yes we do-LOL. And BTW "Damon who".

That's a GREAT idea. Do you think they have enough space for that?  What if they used the room on the right side of the snack bar? That would be better than nothing.  I can talk to Roxanne before the next show to see what she thinks.







I think us getting a table for ourselves for the spring show would be an excellent idea, Many of the people in charge of the show didn't care for us hogging most of the tables even though we were actually eating there as well.

Jasperson said he would mention it to Roxanne.  When I went to her table to discuss the idea, she wasn't there and I forgot to go back as I wanted to get home to enjoy some of the great weather and hook up with some friends who were in town.

Did anybody happen to take any pics at the show?  I wanted to see what was in the Topps display case.

Bill, I don't have any pics, but the only vintage items that were in the display that I recall were some display boxes they had made from unused file copies (I recall the Weakies poster box, an 8th and a 12th). I don't remember anything else noteworthy on the vintage end.

Thanks Dave!  I thought there might be some test items.

Wasn't there some kind of Weakies art as well?  I didn't get a good look at it but it looked like it had notes around it.

The original art to the weakiers poster box was there.  I thought that was very cool!

I just had a horrible realization - the Yankees are playing at home Saturday evening.  Traffic could be murder on my way home!!  Bad enough in May it took me an entire hour just to get from the GW Bridge through the Bronx and over the Throg's Neck.  Think I'll look into Staten Island, but I've never had luck driving there........

The ONLY reason why I'm NOT going is because the roads and signage through the Philly area was abosolutely a NIGHTMARE. We got lost for a longer amount of time than what the whole trip should of taken. There were detours sending you off into all different directions, with no indications as to where you are going or how to get back to the road you just left! And no-one could give any directions who I asked, but they all tried instead of just saying, "I don't know". It's 2010. With all the technology and taxes that have been paid through the years, you think that the roads would be nearly perfect besides mantenance. Even one of the Toll people gave me wrong directions - left out a major turn, right in the beginning of leaving that Toll, and I was off in the wrong direction. Later, I got more directions for another Toll person - who's were better, but still missed major turns (I wrote it down) had a suspition that we were going to be headed in the wrong direction, so asked the car next to us at the red light, and thank God they were headed in the same direction we were. A total NIGHTMARE on Elm Street and every other Street.

Oh, sorry about the rant there, it was cool meeting a lot of the members there last year though. Just wish it was easier to get to.

So the Crock a Cobra was the only promotional item? Wasn't there a Olds 2 promo sticker and perhaps a few other neat items?

I thought there may have been some cool new Halloween Postcard Series.

I'm confused. The show is in Allentown, not Philly. It's also one of the easiest shows to get to I've ever attended. You get off Route 78 and the show is about 100 yards away.

Where were you coming from?

He must be coming south of Philly, but there's no reason to have to get off the highway until you get to Allentown.  I use my free Google Maps GPS on my iPhone and it works great.  Your right though, getting to this show location is a piece of cake.

Topps was handing out the Olds 2 promo but Dave has mentioned getting a batch for forum members who couldn't get them, so I wouldn't worry about that one.  Plus I heard that Topps will add them in to other releases, so I doubt it will turn out to be a rare one.

No you are not dumb, And I won't allow you to be. I was really hoping you would have made the show last week, But perhaps you had something else going on that weekend instead. I sure hope you are making plans to attend the spring one next year.

Hey thanks Mark for the vote of confidence. If I do attend anther show, since it is really in Allentown, I will take an alternate route rather than go through Philly. Those streets are seriously *&!?%# (censored). I will go parkway north then cut over or take 206.

Don't you live in NJ?  The show is literally like 100 yards off Route 78, go two lights, make a right, you are there.
