Greetings to all the Collectors of the Greatest Non Sport Cards of all time, 3 weeks from today will be Show #82. For those who haven't attended in quite a while, This show will be a tribute to The Queen of Non Sports, Roxanne Toser. Speaking as a collector who 1st met her in the late 80's, It was at a Toy Show in Valley Forge. My 1st meeting of her at a Philly Show was in 1991 at the Bensalem, PA Holiday Inn. I'll always think of her as a 2nd Mother and she was always very helpful with a lot of my collecting needs at quite a few of over 30 plus yrs of attending the shows I have been very happy to be a part of. I'm sure at this upcoming show, there will be many great stories to share from all of those who only may have met her once, or have seen her at every show she was able to be a part of. Looking forward to seeing everyone who can make it.

I'll be setting up a couple of tables. If there ever was a show you don't want to miss, this is it, even if you haven't attended in years. Mark said it well. This one's for Roxanne.

Hi all,

Due to an unforeseen scheduling conflict, I won't be able to attend the Spring Philly show as planned. But on the bright side, I managed to paint a wacky promo card (concept by Pete) which I will post here once the show promoters give their ok.

Sorry for the last minute cancellation, but hopefully, we get a chance to meet at a future show in the not-so-distant future.

Until then, enjoy the spring show and much love to Roxanne and her family!
Neil

Any Wacky promo cards to look forward to from the show?

koduck · « **Reply #7 on:** March 18, 2025, 08:03:37 AM »

I'll post as soon as the show promoters show the card

Since I can't come, please give Roxanne's family my sympathies.

Bigmuc13 · « **Reply #9 on:** March 18, 2025, 08:12:56 PM »

Well said Mark. looking forward to going once again this Spring. I will setting up at a spot of three tables with Greg this time around. Hopefully we get a lot of Wacky folks there!

LOL! That’s a great card!

That's a great parody, even without the show involved! A gooey cheesesteak inside the egg to play with.

Even though it's a Roxanne tribute, and I really would like to pick up the promo set and overall just attend this one as I almost always do...I just checked the Expo Center's schedule and it looks like there's a frickin' gun show that same weekend! Those who attended when there was a gun show there the last time know what I'm talking about...and afraid of!

I'll likely brave it out and go, but I can say I'm not looking forward to what I might find when I arrive......

Go to Philly Show on one of the weekend days and the gun show on the other weekend day?

Fanatical_and_Sickly · « **Reply #17 on:** March 21, 2025, 08:44:20 AM »

From this morning’s email for the show. A good look at the official Wacky card.

RawGoo · « **Reply #18 on:** March 21, 2025, 09:37:21 AM »

If someone could get me the promo cards, I would be very grateful!! I will certainly pay for them. Sadly, I find myself afraid to make the drive off Long Island by myself at this time. But I will be with you in spirit!!

I remember the last time the gun show was there the same weekend. It was MOBBED! Get there early.

Pat,

I will pick up a full set for you; I believe they are selling them as a set of 4.

Great time at the show yesterday. Got there at 9:30 and glad I did. There was still a line to get at 10:45. Paid my respects to Harris at the Toser table and picked up the Roxanne 4 card set. Many thanks to Neil for making that Roxanne Wacky that features Harris and Roxanne. It felt strange to
not see Roxanne at the show. She was there in spirit and always will be.

The Shoe Report on The Philly Non Sport Show.

1st of all, for those who missed it, You missed out on a great time. 2nd got to hang out with Bill C, Greg G, Bill Farinella, Marc Simon, Brian Lambert, Richard KLewans, Jeff Amateau, and many other great collectors. 3rd pick up items were as usual 2 Big Lots of Checklist Pieces Thanks To Bill Chapin and Brian Lambert. A copy of The 1973 New York Magazine with The Wacky Cover, I owe thanks to Bill C on that one. A copy of one of The Wacky Gallery Books that Paul A, and Phil C did back in the day, Got that from Greg G. and too many other cool items to mention. (Knowing me I would likely forget anyway. LOL). A great dinner of Tacos, Wild Rice, ETC was served on Sat evening of Day 1's show. As expected Sat had the bigger attendance, But Sun wasn't too bad either. Not sure of the dates for The Fall Show, But once I find out, Will post on here. So that is my 2 cents, Until the next show everyone.
WACKY ON!!!!!!!!!!!

It was also announced at the show that Saturday's attendance was the highest ever in the history of the show.

Harris also said that they had the most tables ever at a show, and by a lot!
