I spent 15 minutes at the show because I didn't see a lot that I wanted to look at today. There were plenty of old cards, new cards, wax boxes and fancy new insert cards. I just didn't find much to look at in the way of Kellogg's cards, hostess boxes, Sportscaster cards and odd things that I like to check out.
I was surprised to see a Stop-n-Go football card set from 1980. I also saw a few 1992 All-Star sets. One dealer had a great number of 1970 Kellogg's cards in really nice condition. I didn't buy any because the prices took into account how nice they looked.
It's nice to get to a show, especially when it is only 10 minutes out of my way. Maybe I can find another one soon. There seem to be only three consistent shows in the Chicago area now and I've found that this is the only one I like attending.
Nice Ernie Banks; did that come from the show? Nothing like picking up a vintage, oddball Hall of Famer, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm curious as a fellow Chicagoan, what show was this? Was it the one in Orland Park?
No, I didn't purchase anything today at the Orland Park show. I just wanted to show a picture since I was talking about 1970 Kellogg's cards that I did see.
ReplyDeleteBummer that you weren't able to find any new cards for your collection. I'm headed to a show next weekend. Hopefully I'll find something to buy. Although... I don't see 70's Kellogg's too often at that show. If I did, I'd be all over them.
