4.17.11 Hofstra Card Show Review

Today i made my way over to the Hofstra Card Show.

i went to relax and enjoy a fine spring day and see what i could pick up.

good thing it was a fantastic day, because the show itself left a lot to be desired.
There were more dealers at the same show a year ago, and i was expecting to see more dealers to be honest.

That's ok, i was going to make the best of it was my mindset, so i wasnt going to let that get me down.

Seeing as i have a birthday coming up, i wanted to treat myself to something for my PC.
there were not a lot of slabs available (not really a shocker), but i found one dealer that had a really nice amount of mid to high end vintage stuff available. i was able to pick these two slabs up, and could not be happier to have gotten them at the price i did:




There wasnt much wax about, but i did pick up a hobby box of 2008 Toppe Heritage for $49

i also got to hang out and chat with a few FCBers, which is always a nice thing to do in my book :)

so all of the above made the trip well worth it!

Thanks for the read,
Eric

Well, it's been 25 years.....

in April of 1986 i ripped my first sealed case of baseball cards, a 1986 Topps 3-Box Rack Case. That year i also opened a sealed rack box (not case) of 1986 Fleer, and many boxes of 1986 Donruss and yes, 1986 SportFlics as well.

See, collecting back then was different then it is now in 2011.

anyway....this afternoon BBCE listed on their website a 3-Box Rack Case of 1986 Topps Baseball. i placed my order and also added one vending box of 1982 and 1983 Topps to push on with my centered hand collated sets project.

its hard to believe it's been 25 years since 1986
