Just seeing if any Blowout members are hitting the show and what they are expecting. I think it usually draws a lot of sellers.

Its at the Harrisburg Mall on Saturday and Sunday. There are a few Steelers coming to sign autos and a couple of others. There is usually a good showing as far as card sellers go.

Here's a website with the players signing autos:

Has anyone heard for sure if there will be many good dealers? I have learned the hard way from Pennsylvania shows not to expect much besides people selling plaques, running gambling operations and high prices. I would love to hear differently.

It will be a little better than the Capital City Mall shows.....but not too much better.

Meh I'll pass. I've never been big on the shows in the area. The capital city mall shows are sad but the York mall shows are even worse. I'll just save up for the next CSA show.

The Lancaster ones aren't bad...Usually find some ok deals.

The Philly/Jersey shows aren't very good anymore, but there's a reason for that. Collector's don't show up because the dealers aren't very good and the dealers aren't very good because the collectors don't show up.

It's the truth and it's a no win situation. I used to do those shows a few years back and seriously, the same 10 guys who are considered collectors came to every show and the 20 or so dealers fought over their business. After that, nothing. Even the kids roaming the malls didn't want to buy $1 cards.

It's a shame, really.
