Card Show Report 2010 08 27 - Exton Mall, Exton PA

First off before I get to the last card show I was at, I would like to mention that there is a Card Show at the Concorde Mall in Wilmington Delaware this weekend. Team Phungo will be there on Saturday probably after 2pm. I will be wearing my World Baseball Classic Shirt - thats my card show shirt - if you spot me say hello - I will likely be hunched over a dime box in a daze.

Card Show Report 2010 08 27
Now to recap the last show I was at only two weeks ago. I am really mailing this one in, but it will give you an idea of some of the stuff that is moving for cheap right now.

There were only 8-10 tables at the Exton show a few weeks back, but there were at least 4 cheap-o boxes just for me.

Phillies

The Rollins Card was $1 - this is the Green Bordered version of Rollins 09 UD Heads up card. The Alexander was a Quarter. The Rest are dimes. Those are fairly old-school minis from the 1999 and 2000 Pacific Private Stock sets. Those cards are just slim enough to fit into a mini-sheet

Dime Serials Yum

picked up about 30 topps gold cards from various years in a dime box. The Uggla is of the #/29 variety - I don't care if it is M&M, for a dime it goes in the Phungo Collection.

25/Dollar
The Hunt card had some paper loss on the back. Reggie is soft all around - but I love any card with a box score on the b-side. The Torii Hunter cards is sharp looking and will find it's way into my type collection. I have no idea who Dusty Brown is, but I love Knothole cards.

Phungo Cards - Torii Hunter

2009 Phungo #48 Torii Hunter

I have always been a big fan of Torii Hunter going back to his days with the Twins. He is a quality hitter with pop that plays the outfield well.

I'll be rooting for the Earth Angels tonight to stretch out the ALCS to a 7th game. The truth is I would like to see the Phillies get the opportunity to play the Yankees. However, I am well aware there is a lot of upside for the Phillies if the Yankees cannot start Captain Cheeseburger in game 1. So for tonight Go Angels.

The photo on the Phungo card is from a game at Citizen's Bank last year. Hunter's lone hit was a double off Adam Eaton during one of Eaton's many miserable starts. The Angels won the game 7-1 behind a 2-hit performance by the Ervin Santana and a pair of relievers.

Also I wanted to remind folks to not forget that the 2nd Inning of the Spot the Sig! Contest will be happening tonight. I have a posting scheduled to go up by 9:30pm eastern.
