I need to stop spending so much money on the sales thread. One week to go.

 

Def grabbing that iron man this time

 

Hopefully he's there again. I know everything was fairly low grade, so I was going to write down prices of a few FF key issues that I might be able to flip for a mid grade. I always start in the far back corner though because I like the one seller who has the bagged runs.

So I just realized the Philly marathon is this weekend. Does anyone know how traffic will be? Last year I was in Manayunk and didn't go anywhere. This year I'm in Rittenhouse and am planning to get to this at open.

I just logged on to ask the exact same question. I'd be coming from NJ (Walt Whitman).

Thanks, guys. Looks like I wouldn't be driving through the marathon route itself, just worried about the attendant car traffic. The article I read said something like, "A crowd the size of the population of Fort Lauderdale will all be coming to Philadelphia Sunday."

 

I was thinking of coming with my son and I don't know how patient he'd be with a big traffic jam.

They are saying with the marathon and the eagles game, they are expecting 160,000 + people. My girlfriend is acually running the marathon Sunday, have to go cheer her on. So I will not be attending this Sunday, guess I'll have to wait till Jan for the next show

Most of the traffic will be on like 95 getting in the city tomorrow, 76 and 676 nightmare. And traveling inside the city will be terrible also, the route basically is everywhere. Anything south of the stadium will be ok, the farthest south the route is , is front and south street as some parts on Columbus BlvD. Stay away from Philly tomorrow

I live on 21st and Chestnut. There is a cheer corner for like mile 6-7 there tomorrow. That is also where my Zipcar is (on the south corner though). I really won't know until tomorrow. I wish I could go. I don't think I've missed one since I started.

I would say if you can take your car take 76 westbound to 476 east then up 95 to the exit, and if I were you I would stay at the show until the race is over. Race is starting at 7, and it has to be over and finished in. 7 hours ( sort of a time limit) by that time the eGles game is also started. Well you always have public tranportation also, good luck taco
