Who is going to the show? I'm considering it. If you are close (within 4hrs), you should do it. It's a no-brainer this year. It's a bummer that Brent isn't there, but it should be worth it for Mark and Tom. |

I went on Sunday and it was AWESOME. If you're a collector and haven't been, you're definitely missing out. I got a lot of really nice stuff and met some great people.

Did he have any OS art for sale? No she got her picture taken with a Tom Bunk impersonator. Hes really good though so I can see how you were questioning it. |

In my defense, her profile photo predates this year's Philly show, and also there are a lot of guys that look like Tom Bunk (usually they are in horror movies). |

Yes he was there (I thought you were going too, Rob?!) and yes that pic was taken last year. He had various art for sale although I cannot recall exactly what was on the table now other than his newer convention posters and T Shirts. I did buy a 2019 Convention poster "GPK Dollhouse" (I got #1 of 100 woohoo!). I thought it was a brilliant piece. |

For the most part I don't collect the new stuff anymore, so there was nothing being sold at the convention that I would want. The only "newer" artist I buy from is Mark, and I can buy from him online. But I would have went if a group of us had committed beforehand to going and had a plan to meet up. I would love to go to one of these things just to meet some UG people. If a bunch of us plan it out, I will go to the next one! |

It's not all new stuff  It's fun just to get an artist to draw you a sketch card, I do that every time. I try to buy a little something from each artist to support them. And actually, attending these shows has gotten me even more interested in GPK collecting ... but that's just me  |

There's a GPK flea market aspect to it as well? I wasn't aware of that. |

So it's not just artists selling stuff? There's a GPK flea market aspect to it as well? I wasn't aware of that. Yes! In addition to the artists selling their art and offering sketch cards, there are vendor tables setup. There are a few that are more dedicated to selling GPK, but you will also see anything "non sport" ... a lot of TV shows (X-Files, Sons of Anarchy, Walking Dead) have trading cards out there so you'll see that as well. There are also vendors that have really old cards and things I never knew existed. A few sell GPK singles which are great if you just want something in particular. Wacky packs are popular as well. It's not a huge venue, it's a small indoor flea market that has other shops and it's fun to poke around. (I've seen GPK in some of the stores). Check out the website, phillynon-sportscardshow.com/ the photo in the background on the home page ... that will give you an idea on the size of the show. I'm actually going to be doing a youtube video in the near future on the stuff that I've gotten at the shows, you'll have to check it out.  |

I think you've sold me on the show. I'll drag my wife to PA with me for the next show so I have some company. Maybe we'll even go to Philly for a vegan cheese-steak after. Thanks! |
