Not much to report from last weekend. I held my show at the Clarion in Milwaukee on Saturday, June 20, 2015. I did not have much of a turn out. As I said before, we are at the height of the graduation season so most folks have something else to do. Though, I have to admit it was a little depressing. I spend a lot of time and money on the show and it is tough to come up empty for my efforts. I am just going to shake it off and work hard for the July 18th show. I am planning an ad in the Milwaukee Journal this time around. The expense is too great for me to do an ad before every show but I will at least have one before the July 18th show. Hopefully the ad brings more people in.

I have a really good group of dealers right now and I hope they all stick with me through the lean times of summer. We have had fairly good attendance up until this past weekend. A card show is only as good as the dealers and customers who attend. So please mark your calendars for Saturday, July 18, 2015, I need all hands on deck.

Things weren’t much better Sunday at the Wilmot Flea Market. There was a nice crowd but not a whole lot of sports card collectors.  I’m planning on hitting the Wilmot Flea Market again on Sunday, July 5, 2015. I need to sell a lot more cards to keep attending the flea market.  

Next Saturday, June 27, 2015, I am setting up at the American Legion show in Jackson, Michigan. Former Tiger pitcher Dan Petry is slated to sign autographs. I’ve done the Jackson show once before and did not have a particularly good day, even though there was a nice crowd. This does not seem to be a show for vintage set collectors. I may be wasting my time and energy lugging all my binders out to this show. I am trying to think of a creative way to set up for this show. At the last one, I noticed that several dealers seemed to do well by spreading out a couple hundred cards on their tables -- I may go this route. I have a few days to think about it.

On Sunday, June 28, 2015, I am setting up at the Indian Lakes Resort in Bloomingdale, Illinois. It will be nice to be back at an Illinois show. If you are near Jackson, Michigan, on Saturday, or Bloomingdale, Illinois, on Sunday, come out and see me! I need customers!!!!

Tony, I would love to attend your show but Mikwaukee is a bit of a hike for me. Gas Prices and Construction are enough to keep me in the Southland.
