And it's cheaper (and more fun) to get the older Phillies cards live at baseball card shows.<br /><br />The Phillies postcard set and binder, the Star Schmidt set and the 2012 Fan Appreciation Set were $22 total. I think the guy was shocked that I actually wanted the Star Schmidt set and he just threw that in.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161762602291616465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-41533757211657886202012-10-03T19:21:33.217-04:002012-10-03T19:21:33.217-04:00Sounds like a wonderful time!Sounds like a wonderful time!Section 36https://www.blogger.com/profile/18194098940017348361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-76243092258750398282012-10-03T18:54:09.220-04:002012-10-03T18:54:09.220-04:00I had a full weekend of kid stuff and couldn't...I had a full weekend of kid stuff and couldn't make it there myself. I need Danny Jackson's autograph on three items and Terry Mulholland's on four. Mulholland will be there in December, and there was zero chance I would be able to get there during the time Jackson was there this time, so I decided to use my chit with the Mrs. in December. But I have a couple comments/questions about your haul from the show:<br /><br />1) I also am working on a 1971 set, so I was psyched to see that you were getting high numbers for about $2 each, because I rarely land any on eBay for less than $3 or $4.<br /><br />2) That (so-called) Del Ennis card looks like it could be part of this Japanese series!: http://www.cable-car-guy.com/images/blog/2011/menko_001.JPG<br /><br />3) How much did you end up paying for the 1983 Nostalgia Nights set?<br /><br /><br />I forgot to mention in my other post--it seems someone has always given something free to one of my kids when I have taken them. It's a friendly show like that.<br /><br />I love how much stuff you can find at the Philly Show that eitehr you can't find, or that might go for a lot more money, on eBay. It's easier to find things on eBay, so you end up having a lot of competition. There are a bunch of oddball Phillies stands at the show that I try to hit each time, and I've made some nice additions to my collection at good prices. (One of my favorite--I once bought 75 assorted 1970s and 1980s Eagles programs for $75. The guy was just happy not to have to take those boxes home. My wife was equally thrilled--not.)Steve F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00753488569249068229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-82659658582956524862012-10-03T18:43:03.434-04:002012-10-03T18:43:03.434-04:00Agreed-great post! I've taken my nearly-5-yea...Agreed-great post! I've taken my nearly-5-year-old son there to the Philly Show a couple times, but mostly when he was younger and in a stroller. Last year we went and he was fixated on some antique toy cars that were both rusty and expensive! I got him off of it by buying him a small Phanatic figurine and promising we'd stop at Target on the way home and buy a cleaner and cheaper car. But I love the idea of going over the want lists the night before and making him a part of it. I'll do that in December! We do have some nice pictures together at card shows--most recently with Michael Barkann, Dallas Green, Ron Jaworski, Darren Daulton, Jay Johnstone, and a few more I forget now. Hopefully someday he'll appreciate those....Steve F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00753488569249068229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-87502898768069404872012-10-03T08:44:01.508-04:002012-10-03T08:44:01.508-04:00great post. glad to hear it was a succesful trip ...great post. glad to hear it was a succesful trip and look likes some great cards there.dealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04633750324558738343noreply@blogger.com
