Saturday, February 15, 2025, Woodstock North High School, Woodstock, IL
The theme last week was SNOW. Here in my little burg outside of Chicago, we were hit with snow on Wednesday and Friday -- though, its bark was worse than its bite. There is a lot of snow on the ground currently but the various agencies of government that handle snow removal did an excellent job.
My only issue with the snow Saturday prior to the Woodstock show was with my driveway. I shoveled, loaded the car, and had a clear drive through Lake and McHenry counties.
Sales were steady in the morning then died out in the afternoon. I brought out all of my baseball binders and most of my football. I thought I would have room to place out the basketball binders but I misjudged my space and did not get them out. Though, I pulled them out for Angel who purchased a bunch of Harlem Globetrotter cards. Thanks Angel!
Scotty found some cards along with several other guys and I ended up earning just about the exact same amount of money I earn every single time in Woodstock -- it is so weird. No other show is as consistent!
I brought out some cash this morning to purchase some cards. There was much to buy last month and I was unprepared -- not this month, I was ready to buy! I only had one group of cards walk up. One of the modern dealers gave me a small stack of cards that included a 1961 Topps Ernie Banks All-Star. Tough card. I always like picking up 1961 high numbers.
The day went by fairly quickly and before long, I was on my way home with the car loaded up for Orland on Sunday.
There is no Woodstock show in March. The next one is April 19, unfortunately, I can't make that one because I have the Wisconsin MegaShow that day. Then the Woodstock show shuts down until August, which is a real bummer because I really like this show and wish I could do it every month. So, my next Woodstock show will be in August.
The next Oak Creek show is coming up on March 1. We had more than 1,400 through the door for the February show, I expect much of the same for March. Tables are sold out. The MegaShow is coming up on April 19 at the Milwaukee County Sports Complex. Tables are selling fast. Get yours soon by emailing me at [email protected].
A huge thank you to everyone who purchased cards from me in Woodstock. See you in August!!
