Tomorrow's Big Show! White Plains Anyone?

Hey everyone, Drew back here, but I won't be tomorrow! As some of you know, tomorrow there is a baseball card show down in White Plains, New York, which is a little ride from my house. I've been to about 4 of these shows in the past, and never left disappointed at all! I always save up a lot of money, and I'm able to not only add a bunch of nice cards to my collection, but also I get the opportunity to meet some former players. Tomorrow I will be meeting 5 different players, if the time works out on my side, and will have 5 signed customs to come home with! Mike is also coming along to the show, for his 3rd time, and as always Joemama! We can't wait any longer.

I have the wantlist ready to go, customs printed, as well as one more big item that I will be taking over to the show. I don't want to spoil anything, as always I have a tendency to want to surprise you guys more than just telling you what I'm going to do.

So stay tuned everyone! And PLEASE comment if you're going tomorrow! I would love to know!

See Ya!

Upcoming Card Show

Hey everyone, Drew back here. Sure, I wish I could've went to the National, but, the "East Coast National", as they call it, is coming up soon, and I will be attending. The show is in White Plains, the place I always go. All 6 Grading services will be there, including PSA/DNA, JSA, and Beckett.

The show is hosted by JP's Sports and Rock Solid Promotions, and will feature a lineup of multiple Hall of Famers and former stars.

Friday, August 20th
Joe Pepitone: $15 (Free Inscription)
J.R. Richard: $20 (Free Inscription)
Jim Lonborg: $15 (Free Inscription)

The show technically begins August 19th, that Thursday, but no players/former players are scheduled to attend. Friday's lineup is solid, 3 former good players, but it gets much better as the weekend moves along.

Saturday, August 21st
Ron Kittle: Free ($5 Inscriptions, $10 Additional Signatures)
Scott Hall (Wrestling): Free ($5 Inscriptions, $10 Additional Signatures)
Juan Gonzalez: $30 (Free Inscription)
Jesse Orosco: $35 ($10 Inscription)
Sid Fernandez: $35 ($10 Inscription)
BILLY WILLIAMS: Flats/Balls/Over/Equipment: $30, Bats/Jerseys: $50, ($10 Inscriptions)
GARY CARTER: Flats/Balls/Cap/Over: $50, Bats/Jersey: $75 ($20 Inscriptions)
JOHNNY BENCH: Flats/Balls/11x14: $60, other equipment goes up to $105 ($20 Inscriptions)

Saturday may arguably have the best lineup, with 2 free guests (Hall/Kittle), Juan Gonzalez, Orosco and Fernandez, and 3 Hall of Famers, Billy Williams, Gary Carter, and Johnny Bench. Prices aren't overly ridiculous this day too, Billy Williams is at a nice price.

Sunday, August 22nd
Roy White: Free ($5 Inscriptions, $10 Additional Signatures)
Dwight Gooden: $25 ($10 Inscriptions)
Mel Stottlemyre: $35 ($5 Inscriptions)
RALPH KINER: Flats/Balls/Cap/Equipment: $25, Bats/Jerseys: $50 ($10 Inscriptions)
ROBIN YOUNT: Flats/Balls/11x14: $75, others go up to $135 ($30 Inscriptions)
Bernie Williams: Flats up to 16x20/Balls: $159, rest goes up to $229 ($50 Inscriptions)

Well, the prices didn't look ridiculous, until Bernie came along. And no, that is not a typo, he costs $159 for any single autograph with a $50 inscription. Very ridiculous, they say it's his 1st card show appearance in NY, and I have a good feeling not many people will be in line for that guy. I would love to meet him, but my $159 doesn't want to! I'm debating whether to meet Yount or not, $75 is an awful lot too, should I? This is the day I'm going, and I'm meeting White, Gooden, Stottlemyre, Kiner, and maybe Yount. Nice lineup! It's no National, but sure is one of the better shows in the country!

Not only are the lineups stacked with stars, but there are 450+ Tables full of a good mix of memorabilia, vintage, and modern cards. This will make for a great show! My Grandpa Roy, Dad, and friend Mike will all be with me, and it should be an awesome time! I can't wait to go! See Ya!
