I went on Friday and the show was pretty good with a variety of vendors with something pretty much for everyone although the new releases where the most represented. It was also nice to see that one vendor was selling single non sport commons which is something you don't see too much anymore.

It is not a con level show with hundreds of vendors but a decent show and a good way to spend a couple of hours hunting for your pieces off your want list.

I would say that about 3/4 of them had sketch cards from a variety of releases and Paul representing the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation had a lot of commissioned sketch cards on the Treasure Chest card stock from different artists and different subjects with all proceeds going to the foundation.

Bunny Hop · 10-09-2023, 08:51 AM

It was a very fun way to spend a couple of hours on Saturday morning. Dealers were all friendly and there was some fun stuff to find and look through, for sure. My buddy and I really enjoyed ourselves and then got some tasty hot dogs and fries from Diana's down the street.

Great meeting you Scifi.
