Definitely.....I will be there Thursday around noon-$1 with a whole table full of value boxes for people to dig thru. All quality stuff anywhere in the .50 - $1 range. This is the stuff you want to buy and get ready to take to The National. I'll have an 8 foot table right near the front of the concession stand.....can't miss it.

502 just showcases this time around

Don't think I'll be able to make this one.

So a dumb question from someone that doesn't really go to these types of shows usually - for the guest signings, are you always supposed to bring your own item to sign or will they have photos available to be signed? Do people really walk around with like ten footballs and photos in their arms all day just for signatures? Seems like that wouldn't be fun unless people just brought whatever would fit in a backpack.

CSA always has a bunch of supplies for autograph guests like 8x10 and helmets and baseballs and stuff like that. so if you have nothing you can still get things autograph

As far as the "walk around like ten footballs" yeah all the time. I have seen people with luggage that contains the stuff they want autographed Hey if they want to pay 10 times for 10 items that's fine. Sucks for the person before them that has to wait for this #@#@#@#@.

Who else is going next week? Anyone else setting up?

[hammerva]

It is kind of tough because I need to save more for the national next month. But the Chantilly CSA shows are can't miss. Especially being only 5 miles away from me. Right now my strategy is to go through a ton of value boxes to get some stuff I can sell on Ebay quickly and get some National money.

Also some wrestling cards although CSA shows usually have nothing in that. At least I know Santiago Cards will be there to have some wrestling besides the same 20 cards that never sell.

I will be there

I will be buying lots for COMC/eBay

Well then you should come to my table (Booth #807). I will be set up with 27 two rows and 8-10 four rows of all 50 cent cards. There will be a ton of stuff that everyone can resell for $1-$2-$3 and probably more, since I know I missed stuff too.

My intention this show is to sell stuff so that people can make money on it or just keep it for their team/player collections.

I'm 50/50 on making this show but if I can I'm checking out your booth. Lots of good Pittsburgh stuff I hope... either way, I'll see what you got.

We (Dudes in NC Sports cards) will be setup at booth #8 (right as you enter on the right near DCI)
We will have tons of value boxes for everyone, as well as some nice showcase cards. We also buy collections!
Please come and say Hi.

It's all organized by sport - Baseball, Football, and Basketball. Final count going down = 27 two-rows and 8 four-rows.

[Jarodb79]

We will be setting up at booth 8 this morning if anyone wants to take a look.

[theshowandme]

I’ll be there at 1 pm for early access. I think tomorrow will be packed!

[solt0131]

We’re off and running here….

[ATeamHasNoName]

How’s the crowd? FYI the Walmart stocked yesterday by Premier. Nothing of note ����#@♂️

[theshowandme]

Good foot traffic for a Friday. Should be very busy tomorrow.

A lot of people trying to sell to dealers.

I was there 6 hours and didn’t buy a single card. It was mostly a recon day for me.

With wax still up and you are on the other side of the table you should think about what their expenses are. Table is if not $300 close to and hotel is another $300 minimum 2 nights plus gas.

This should only motivate you to sell at/below market prices. That is how you bring back repeat customers.
