Philly Show!

Hi again!
For those of you who will be attending the Philly Show this coming
April, We will be setting up 5 tables as usual and will have hundreds of
sets and wax boxes including 3 very rare Rittenhouse Archive boxes and
we will also have a HUGE selection of chase, pieceworks and autograph
cards. We will be bringing rare and unusual cards, such as Disney
Sketch cards! If there is something you want us to bring for you, just
let me know ahead of time and I will make sure we will have it for you.
Looking forward to seeing you all again!

Hows about singles so we can finish sets? No one brings singles anymore

Singles would be nice to bring to a show, but the table cost verse profit on
them is not in the game. Different set singles sell for different prices again
something to watch over at a show. Why not just use the newsgroup to find what
you're looking for?

Just my two cents

And good sense it is!

2 years ago, I brought fifteen 5k boxes (75,000) singles and sold random
singles @ .20 a piece. It amazed me the number of times I heard "Darn, I didn't
bring my lists.."

The profit numbers were NOT worth the haul so to speak and the shocks on my car
didn't like it either ::smile::

And this happened because the main singles guy stopped coming to the show so
no one bothered to bring their lists.
The back up other singles guy will not be there this year.
Neither will Inkworks, I understand.
And Mike, ya mighta made more money if you had singles from releases within
the past 5-10 years
Sorry, but ya tend ta have the older older older cards.
If ya'll have singles, then post it and let us know. Fill our burgeoning
want lists, please!!
Okay, now ya can all yell at me some more

A Snide Comment for me???

FYI James, you have no idea what my inventory is at the moment and I still
believe that you can find singles at Philly from the 1800's, right?

BTW, why don't you share with everyone your support of (Balt-DC) area dealers
by trying to "trade" with everyone and pretending to be a dealer. I have no
idea why are you in the room(s) before the paying customers?

And.. when was the last time (if ever) that you paid a table fee??? Or, for
that matter, how much folding money has left your hands and has graced the
palms of Zeno, Laura, Bob, or even myself???

Some nerve man...I'm just trying to make a few extra bucks and was involved in
a discussion about my experiences of actually making the effort to bring
singles to Philly.

Hey -- its not too late to get a table -- bring all those singles you must
have...

Then you will have earned a right to spit tobacco on the front porch with the
rest of the hard working, risk taking dealers.

James,
Sometimes there are dealers that bring 5,000 count boxes of singles, but
because of the huge amount of wax, sets and chase, we can't bring them.
Sorry. Hopefully we will have something that you will like!
Please look us up!
Thanks!

I'll have lots of Early tobacco cards as singles, plus sets. But probably too
early for you, unless you want to start collecting "real" insert cards
