Raleigh and Charlotte Shows End of February

[hausem06]

I am debating going to these but they are pretty far from me. Anyone have any info on these such as how much sports compared to TCG there is? High end compared to dollar boxes? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Didn't see many other bigger shows this coming weekend outside of those.

The Raleigh Shows have always been the best shows south of Chantilly. Always strong for vintage baseball and football. A good mix of high end graded cards and dollar boxes to go through. The show is in the Kerr Scott building which is the best of four different venues at the fairgrounds. I see there is also a show in Charlotte that weekend. That will siphon off a few of the usual dealers. There will be Pokémon, etc. Those dealers/buyers have materialized out of nowhere the last two years. Plenty of supplies at the show. Cranes Cards is my go to supply dealer. He will be near the right front corner near the snack bar.

Agree…been going to the Raleigh shows for the past 6-7 years. Great show for low to mid-end. Caters to the collectors.

The Charlotte shows have been around 60/40 sports/poke-#@#@#@#@.

The sports cards are a pretty good mix of value, things in showcases you may actually buy, and showcases with museum pricing.

I wouldn’t drive more than 2 hours for the Charlotte show.

Thanks a lot for commenting. I usually do $1 and other value bins.

I appreciate you letting me know. 60/40 could be tough since I don't do any TCG.
