Fanatics Fest

Just saw this and had to share.  Anyone know anything about this?

I know nothing.
But I did see that Dave just made this post on Facebook:

I'll be a Topps Guest Artist at Fanatics Fest NYC in two weeks! The biggest Sports/ Trading Card show ever with the craziest amount of sports superstars and pop culture celebrities! Come visit me in the Art Zone. I'll have Garbage Pail Kids original art, NEW 11x14 prints and NEW trading cards available along with a slew of cool GPK X MLB series 3 merchandise!

Patrick, thanks!  Kinda cool.  Seems like a fun show.  If I were in the Tri-State area I would definitely attend.  I wonder if there will be any promo cards?

Here's a thread at the Blowout Cards forum with more information about it.

You'll notice a lot of notable athletes and celebrities will be in attendance as well. I'm assuming the emphasis will be on sports cards and related products, though they will likely have some non-sports related items (case in point, what Patrick shared about Dave Gross).

As a follow up here’s a video of a vendor doing a little tour and then interacting with collectors at Fanatics Fest.  I actually found it a fascinating peak into the world of Sports card collecting.  What’s amazing to me are all the young collectors and how mature they are with buying and selling.  There’s no non-sports to be seen but looked like an amazing show for any sports card enthusiasts!
