My golf outing got postponed due to the snow on Sunday , so that means I will be in attendance tomorrow morning

Love Derek's show... always good material in the room. I'll be there as usual.

 

For a smaller show, there is a surprising group of high-quality dealers with diverse focus and offerings. You'd really expect a dealer line up like this from a much larger venue. I find quality books from nearly everyone there. BSD dealers like Al Stoltz and Baltimore's Marc Nathan are often present too.

Yup, it's a great buying show and to expand on what Bruce said a bit:

 

 

All American Comics (Dave Reynolds and his partner Greg(?) whose name I can never remember ....both nice guys with tons of fairly priced GA and SA) are usually there, as well as Gary Platt...all of these guys are the sorts of dealers you'd see at bigger shows.

 

Last time I was at that show, as a buyer, I was flipping thru Platt''s boxes and saw a GI Combat 91, looked to be about a 5.0 or so...priced at about $90.

 

....Plunderpalace and Chestercopperpot,...(Mark & Joe Walsh)...two old buddies of mine, who will be bringing a LOT of new aqquisitions to this show.

 

....and to any boardies who may be considering going to Philly, if you go......stop by the Walsh bros. tables and tell 'em that Colin O'Malley sent ya over, for a CGC boardie hookup
