I can bring some (new) if anyone needs. I have a few sheets I can part with on hand. But need to know by tomorrow morning

I'm at the Holiday Inn Express right down the street, almost walkable distance. Very happy with my room. Almost feels like I'm the first one to use it. Reasonably priced when I booked it. Not sure if there's availability but the parking lot is pretty empty

There is a Twilight Zone and Addams Family in the FreePlay room

That goes to show you how important music is to a game

Anybody have the dates for next June?

If someone was playing a game & I wanted to see the price on the card, I would just zoom in with my camera phone. That happens more & more in life as I get older

I should have Voodoo glass from Cointaker in my booth. Same show special that they do. $250 a sheet, 2 for $450. Not sure how much I am bringing. Message me if you want me to hold you some.

I can bring Luci with me if a deal is in place. Also available Ultraman, Mando pro and Premium, GNRLE, TNMT Premium and a NIB Halloween should be in by then.

Sorry about that

Vendor hall open until 9pm Sat, closed Sunday. I can bring a Halloween CE or Godzilla Pro if pre-sold. I personally don't plan on having my booth open until close time, it's a long 3 days (with setup) and I have a 4 hr drive home, if it gets slow late Sat, I'm out.

I've always enjoyed this show as a patron but this was my 1st time as a vendor and the staff was GREAT! Special shout out to Nick and John for helping me get my U-Haul trailer unloaded! I had hernia surgery 3 weeks ago and they really took care of me!

Thanks to Gabe for putting on a great show! He has a great staff and really tries to cover all the bases. I'm sure this is months of hard work that isn't always appreciated.

I've said this before in the Allentown thread, but it's worth repeating: Any show is a balance of buyers-sellers-patrons. Each one drives the other. If nobody buys, then nobody comes to sell, if nobody sells, nobody comes to buy or play. 

I know a lot of vendors who went home with a lot of games. I did well selling glass, but will definitely not be bringing 8 games to sell again.

I started to shut it down around 4:45 because I had a 4-Hour ride home after a long 2 days.

The hotel options in the area are limited and can be shaky at best. I did enjoy the Holiday inn Express last October show, but I guess it's summer season now and $250 a night can be tough to swallow when you're just looking for a shower and 7-8 hours of sleep.

Food-wise I have always enjoyed the show, the barbecue place is good, the pizzeria next door isn't bad and the seafood restaurants has also been good in the past so I don't think of that as a sore spot.

Having a booth is a lot of work and I appreciate everybody who takes a shot at it! Usually I try to spend money with the vendors and keep them coming back! I didn't have a lot of time to wander around because of having to stay close to my booth, but it was great being near Charles from Pinball Photos, Brian from Bushey Brothers and Joe & his son Joe from Pingraffix!

I picked up a pile of awesome looking side blades from Pingraffix! Going to try to add them to all the games that I sell. I'll have some on hand if anybody local needs them!

Thanks to Mike from Automated for bringing not one, but multipleToy Story 4's! I only got a couple of games on them but enjoyed what I saw.

One of the cool things I love about the pinball hobby is that vendors really help each other out. I had a potential machine sale, but it needed to be delivered to Maine. Brian said he couldn't do it but told me to ask the Maine home recreation guys, they were super nice and charged a reasonable amount to my customer for bringing the game back to Maine. Either one of those guys could have easily tried to snipe my sale but instead were super cool and helped me make the sale!

As always, great seeing familiar faces, friends and past customers! Thanks to everybody who stopped by and said hello, did a deal with me and bought something from us!

I started writing this post with the intention of keeping it short, but ended up sounding like Skip.. LOL

Final thought, I would love to see the show closer to Christmas, late October, early November like last year. Summer is typically a slow time for pinball, covid changed that the last couple of years but I think it's back to normal.
