It costs $7.00 for parking, last years show it was $6 or $7 to get in. But they might have changed how much to get in since its 200 dealers 40 with cards and 160 with antiques.

[benbbad1]

Who's planning to go to the Humdinger at Santa Clara County Fairgrounds 344 TULLY Road, the SAN JOSE this weekend?

[Kensjca]

Ben, I didn't know there was a show down here. My bro and I will probably check it out. Thanks for the info.

[Sharkie]

For those going to the San Jose Fairgrounds show, check out the Kids Dream table; Chris should have some figs, and has a pretty large inventory available in his south San Jose shop near my house.

Didn't realize so many bay area, or more specific, penninsula heads were on here. Believe it or not, I found this thread on google. LOL. San Mateo here or as som of us say MATEO.

Hey,I used to buy figs from Chris(Kids Dream) until I found out about this board.:D I used to drive all the way from Berryessa to Blossom Hill just to check what new figs are out.
I'll be there at the Fairgrounds on Saturday as well.

[BigC]

Thanks for the advice. 9a - 11a it's $15 after 11a it's $5 to get in. $2.5 for kids 12 and under. Hopefully I will run into some of you there. I'll either wear a spawn t shirt or just a white under shirt and I'll have a 4 year old little boy with me with a grey Raiders sweatshirt on. I guess none of that stands out, but I also wear a pretty big 24k gold chain. You can't miss that. If I don't see any of you there, have a good time.

[Kensjca]

For those of you that went to the show today in San Jose I thought it was pretty good. My brother and I ended up renting a table after we found out they were only $65 bucks. We made back our money and then some - it turned out to be a good day!

We hooked up with Ben (benbbad) and Mike (POLOCUS23), two very cool people if you ever get the chance to meet.

Ken

[DhX]

who went to one of the showS? and what did you get?

[J-Goalie]

DOH! that was today! crapsticks!

[BigC]

I thought it was pretty crappy. Mostly a bunch of overpriced stuff, and not much rare stuff at all. Was hoping to run into some of you, but didn't happen. Oh well.

Ken, where was your table located and what did you have for sale?

[Kensjca]

We were located in the first aisle to your left after entering, 2nd table on the right.

My bro and I were blowing out regs 3 for $10 bucks. I didn't have much because we didn't go there to sell. We decided at the last minute, I mean very last minute, to rent a table.

I sold NFL 1, NFL 8, NBA 5, NBA Backboard, and Topps Chrome NFL Cards.
I didn't sell Gretzky Chase, Tim Brown No Towel Variants, Lebron James Posters, Lebron James Hummers, 3" Two Pack Lebron & Pierce, Lebron James Topps Chrome Rookie Card, or any Topps Chrome NBA (started giving away the cards to kids).

I guess it depended on what side of the table (buyer or seller) whether you had a "good" time or not.

Ken

[benbbad1]

I was kicking it in the left back wall with Alex. He was the only dealer with a Series 1 blue emmitt.

Also I found out later today that there was and old man selling his junk under his table were Mcfarlane figs & 95 Teasure hunt.

I saw a guy buying the following.

Series 2 Reg Faulk clean for $12.
2 95 Teasure hunts for $3 each. :eek:

God know what else he sold that I didn't see under his table. When I look there was nothing but junk left. :(


Maybe next time we'll meet.

Take care

Ben, I saw that guy (his table was next to the restrooms) and I saw that Faulk at about 2PM. I actually stopped, took a look, but didn't ask him how much :( I thought it was kind of odd because he had all kinds of other "stuff" and only about 3 figs.

I remember your table now Ken. I went to every table but I remember you selling 3 nba SP's for $10.
I was the white guy with the Raider hat and the black spawn Tshirt with the 4yr old boy in the Raiders sweat shirt. (I didn't see any other people wearing spawn shirts there)

I did see the Faulk you guys were talking about. Did any of you see the Snow Tom Brady selling for $250?

To answer what I got, just some odds and ends.
Mecha Hulk
Epic Force Storm Trooper
2 clear chiodo figures

Hey all, hit the Westfield mall on Travis Blvd in Fairfield (off I-80) this afternoon. "Software Etc" have a bunch of regular NFL 9, NHL, MLB, and some 3" figs for 50 percent off ($5.00). They also have regs of the latest NBA and NFL10 (no Roy Williams) for $12.99 (too much). They did have a few Vinatieri 3 bar facemasks figs at that price. Might go get one eventually....

Picked up a Holmes and Bell regs for $5.00 each (for custom NFL matchups), plus a holmes/harrison 3" for 2.50....Also hit a sporting goods store in the mall called FANZZZ, all their figs were $19.99 (Ouch) but they had a Blue Roy Williams. Yikers! Picked it up. They also had a few white RWs at that price....:)

Yeah, I can see it being good for you. Lot's of HotWheels. As far as figures go, it didn't have much stuff that wasn't easy to get. The prices were also very high. Most of the stuff I found there I could get on ebay + shipping and still come out about 30% lower than the prices at the show. Like I've said in the past, maybe Comic Con has ruined me, but this show wasn't really Sht. I'll still check it out for lack of anything better to do and to hopefully meet up with some of you guys.

Few tables selling SP's here are the most notable....

1. Warren (local guys to San Jose know him - real nice guy) usual suspects available but did have $6 specials on NBA 7 and few other NFL
2. Keno (first time I met him) Dude had "EVERYTHING" from no helmet Urlachers to Snow Brady, Pirates Bonds to Black Vick, etc... Said they were from his personal collection. Prices were on par - nothing cheap. Also said it was his first show.

picked up a couple of nfl regs for some norcal buddies and a 12" Raiders Rice for me.

[BigC]

Dammit. I've been so busy that I didn't check this board for 2 days, and forgot about the show. See alot of anime figures, or was it mainly dvd's?

[Kensjca]

Here's a rough break out...

30% anime
30% Comics
20% Marvel Legends
10% DVD's
5% SP's
5% other toys

never seen those before, do you guys know when's the next show at Serramonte??

[sharksfan]

never seen those before, do you guys know when's the next show at Serramonte?? Daly City "Serramonte Show is Feb 26 and 27th"

Other shows Feb 4-6 Great Mall Milpitas and Feb 18-20 Tri Star Cow Palace Daly Cit

Went to the comic show and prices for Mcfarlane was high to me.

$160 for 49ers Jerry Rice and $60 for Nabokov "Teal version" guy in back against the wall
$120 for Barry Bonds Pirates for the guy with post it prices on the back of items one who had lots

[BigC]

I've posted the same thing twice, but it's been deleted twice. It seems as though Lord Weber has a different idea of what the word masking means than what is in the dictionary. So I will do my best to say this again, but in a way more suitable to Lord Weber.

Are we gonna try to meet up with each other at any of the forementioned shows, or do you guys want to remain anonymous to each other?

[DhX]

i Might Be Goin to The SERRAMONTE show if that makes you feel better ;p

[BigC]

That would be cool to meet up. I was talking to you and to all the other norCal collectors. I don't know if any of you guys would like to to do some kinda roll call for the shows with a place and time to meet up. Let me know.

[Kensjca]

FYI - I'll be checking out the Great Mall show (less than 5 minutes from me) but not sure about Serramonte or Cow Palace.

[Scalper10]

Target in Pittsburg has Revenge of the Sith figures. Off Topic but I thought i'd post anyway. My Brother and I plan I hitting the Cow Palace Tri-Star Show. He wants Steve Youngs autograph. I got my SP 9ers Rice signed there last year.

just a reminder, Great Mall of the Bay Area in Milpitas is having a show this weekend.

[BigC]

I'll be there Friday

[Sharkie]

Thanks for the reminder Ken. I will be there Sat. Also thinking about going to Tri-Star. I have a white Brady that I may want to trade or sell. Also have a few other extra variants: grey Gibson and red Datsyuk come to mind. Serramonte show should also be good.

Another heads up for you Bay Area collectors. My friend Chris at "Kids Dream" collectibles shop is having a 20% off sale on all SPs this weekend as a Superbowl promotion. Shop is located at corner of Snell and Santa Teresa in South San Jose. Check it out. He just recently got a set of NFL 1 and 2 regs, which are all for sale individually. He has a whole NFL wall. Anyways, he asked me to post this. See ya at the shows.

[POGELOCUS]

Hey Bro, what do you need for your White Brady? I'm gonna be at GMall also, maybe we could hook and do some trades..Yeah and I bought a couple of figs from Chris before, pretty good guy.

Hey Mike, nothing new lately, been focusing on my 03/04 NBA Topps Chrome Refractors (trying to put together a complete set). I'll be at the show maybe Friday night and Saturday early.

Ken

[daboltz]

Be there either Friday afternoon or early Saturday....Gotta get rid of these 2 extra Sapp Raider figs....

[Sharkie]

I could use one of those Sapps Bolt. Anything you looking for in trade?

[Kensjca]

Mike (POLOCUS23) was looking for a Sapp.

Hi, looking for a white Ray Lewis, black or white Bettis, white Tony Gonzalez, Blue or Exclusive Carr, Tiki Exclusive, Eddie George Exclusive, Retro Sharpe Exclusive, some clean series 1/2 regulars.....Most of this stuff would be more valuable than the Sapp so would be willing to throw in some other stuff or cash! LMK, Alex (daboltz)

[daboltz]

Hey guys, look for the guy with the White Seau Dolphins Jersey...I'll bring a box full of trade stuff in case your interested....Check in with you guys tomorrow. Gotta hit the hay, 0430 is way too early to wake up for work! ;)

[Sharkie]

Sounds good. I'll be the older guy in the Rice jersey on Sat. morning. Probably can't make it Friday. I'll bring a few trade pieces also.

[daboltz]

Hey Sharkie, I'll be there Saturday but probably wont make it there until about noon. Don't worry, I'm "the older guy" too! Alex Mejia, MSgt, USAF (daboltz)

[Sharkie]

No prob Alex. I'll probably be there from 10:30-1:00 pm. BTW, the Rice jersey is Niners all the way. I've got a minty Bettis reg to bring for you. I'll also have a slightly bent red Vick, Bonds series 5 variant, Raiders Rice reg and a few other pieces. I'll be looking to sell my white Brady for some cash; maybe $40.00. See you there.

[BigC]

I'll be there tomorrow (Friday) early on. I'll be wearing my Tim Brown ProBowl Jersey, unless it gets too hot.

[POGELOCUS]

Good looking out Ken, but I already have a Sapp Raiders.



Mike (POLOCUS23) was looking for a Sapp.

[POGELOCUS]

Hey Bro, do you need a 12" Niners Rice? I'll be at GMall on Friday and Saturday morninig as well.

[J-Goalie]

damnit another i have to miss?! :(

[sharksfan]

Anybody attend the show yet. Any good deals etc so far. 100 tables kind of optomistic Was it the same old dealers .anbody selling Starting LIneups also.

[BigC]

I don't think there were more than 10 or 15 tables. I didn't see anything worth getting and neither did the boarder who was with me. got a lot of stuff at some of the stores in teh san jose area though. You can check out what I got on the toy board if you are interested in things non sports related.

[sharksfan]

Thanks for the report was that because of empty tables.Guess it was not both sides of the mall like the last show their had maybe 50 tables? What stores do you recommend..

[BigC]

hmm
not sure of the names, the boarder with me kinda told me about all of them. We carpooled and he drove. I got my gazelle at R&K comics. we also went to another comic shop, an anime shop and some shops at valco (damn that mall is deserted)

[ak4na2]

why is everything in the south bay..!!

[BigC]

why is everything in the south bay..!!

There's plenty in SF and the east bay. Unfortunately there's not a whole lot in the pen.

[daboltz]

Bump...heading to the show in a few....:)

[BigC]

I would tell you don't bother, but instead I will say good luck.

[Sharkie]

Met up with "daboltz" today at the Great Mall. Thanks for the trade Alex. Only the same dealers that frequent these shows were there. The "Weaties Box" man always has a few, and there were other tables with a few scattered pieces. Only one dealer (older Aisian couple) had any kind of inventory. Wanted SB Carr, but $70.00 was too much. Just made one minor trade with him, and ended up not selling my reg. Brady ($40.00 was my asking price). This dealer said he sold a snowy Brady this morn for $240.00 and a Niners Rice for $80.00. He had a 6" Niners Rice for about $150.00. Think I'll wait for Tri-Star for more sales or trades...Will be looking for one of those SB sets now that the limits have been removed down at the Experience this morning!

[daboltz]

Thanks for the trade Bruce "Sharkie"....Held off on buying anything except some Yugiohs for the kids...was holding out on an Ebay auction for an LT 1/1 jersey, but ended up loosing it by 1 darn dollar while I was at the show...Bummer! Oh well, maybe now I can go for an LT Contenders RC :)

[Kensjca]

I agree with some of the other posts, the Great Mall Show was weak for SP's. It was, however, okay for cards. I was able to pick up a few more of my 03/04 NBA Topps Chrome Refractors cheap.

Ken

[Sharkie]

Yep, Serramonte should be better, since action figs sell well in the SF area. And I definitely want to go to Tri-Star to snag a SB set.

[BigC]

Couldn't be any worse. LOL. Don't forget the WonderCon.

[daboltz]

Hey all, is that Serramonte show at a mall or what? Free or admission? Thanks

I'll be at Tristar Friday, I need to get some cards graded.

Ken, is Beckett gonna be there? If so, do you know what they charge, do you have to leave the cards with them or get them done on the spot? Are the BGS or BCCG grades? Thanks, Alex :)

[Kensjca]

Alex, Beckett will be there all three days. Not sure of all the details but I believe the cost is the same minus shipping and insurance of course. There is a premium for "while you wait" service. Not sure of the specific grade BGS or BCCG (good question, I'll have to find out before I hand'em over).

I'll be at Tri-Star by mid-day on Saturday. Hey Ken, is that SB Carr that you got an extra? Wondering if you would want to trade it for anything.

[Kensjca]

I was hoping to trade it for a SB Eddie George. Hopefully to someone who bought the same nfl box and received a George but wanted a Carr. Otherwise, I'll probably sell it to recoup my money on the box. I'll be offering a 3 for $15 sale on various NFL at the March show at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds. I'll be asking $40 for the Carr at the show.

Sorry guys. I'm gonna miss both shows this weekend. My only possible chance is Sunday. My mother-in-law had another heart attack on Monday and that has put numerous strains on my family's time. I hope you all have fun and please give me all the info about both shows so at least I can think I was there.

sorry to hear that man :(. i wish i could go to.........

[Sharkie]

Ken: I actually traded my Tim Brown variant for a SB George at the Labor Day Tri-Star show. Back then, George was more visibly available than Carr. If I don't find a Carr before then, I might be interested in buying yours.

[Kensjca]

Alex, just got back from Tristar, here's the low down on grading...

Beckett, PSA, and GA were all there.
Beckett was only offering Raw Card Review at the show, I ended up giving them my cards to ship to Dallas for BGS grading and slabbing. Grading prices are discounted at the show via service upgrade (2 day is $20 instead of $25, 20 day is $8 instead of $10, etc..) Same tiers apply (1 - 19 cards, 20 - 99, and 100+ for standard quantity discounts).

Hardly any SP's and the ones that were there were too much $$$. Lots of older vintage cards, pretty cool actually. I thought it was worth the price of admission just to look at the old stuff (kind of like a mini museum of sorts)

Ken

Ken, is Beckett gonna be there? If so, do you know what they charge, do you have to leave the cards with them or get them done on the spot? Are the BGS or BCCG grades? Thanks, Alex :)

[Sharkie]

Also went to Tri-Star today. Since I don't do cards anymore, I was looking only for SPs and other novelties. Ken is right...hardly ANY SPs there. Only two tables had more than a few, and the one with the most was selling regs for $20.00! :rolleyes: Yikes! I walked around with a flat box of 6-8 figs to trade or sell. Luckily, a guy from Philly spotted me and bought a couple, and I used the proceeds to purchase an 05 SB set. The Pro Tech dealer had a few cases of them for $45.00 per set that some dealer Fed Exd to him. But many were damaged. When I told him I wanted a set, he loaded 2 pieces into a bag and began to hand it to me. I told him I was looking for something NRMT and needed to see the pieces first.. He takes them out of the bag, and there are 2 Leftwich figs, one with serious damage. :mad: I made him pull out about 4 of each before I was able to settle on a proper set with very minimal imperfections. There were probably 7 or sets left when I was there, but beware of the damaged ones. Also got 3 Pro Tech SP protectors for $10.00. The show was pretty big for memorabilia and cards, and the auto stage area was very brisk with Pete Rose, Young and Rice there at the same time. Drive up was fine, but coming back there was sheets of rain. Also stopped at a Gamestop and snagged 2 NHL 9 figs for $3.50 each. Not a bad day, but I expected at least one legitimate SP dealer and figured I'd see new NBA. On to Serramonte next week...

[daboltz]

Thanks Ken...pretty decent discount....how many cards did you turn in and is the shipping back to you reasonable? Got about 40 cards I really want to get graded.....Alex

[daboltz]

Sounds like it was mission accomplished getting the 05 SB set Bruce! Will try to go to the Serramonte show next week on Saturday AM....Gotta try to find the Gonzalez, Delhomme, Bledsoe, Ward 3" and the new Heat Shaq reg and chase....Will keep an eye out for you...Alex

[Sharkie]

Yep, mission was accomplished Alex. Now I just need a SB Carr, but I'm not confident I'll see it at Serramonte. I'll drag out the Rice jersey again for next weekend, and maybe see you there on Sat. late morning.;)

[Kensjca]

I'm only having 9 cards graded but using two different grading services (1 - Two day Service and 8 - Twenty Day Service) shipping and insurance was $18 for each of my orders. The single card is a higher end card so I wanted it back asap (03/04 NBA Topps Chrome Gold Refractor Carmelo Anthony 01/50).

Based on your quantity, here are the costs:
21 - 40 cards shipping = $16
$1 - $1000 Insurance = $6

Ken

Thanks Ken...pretty decent discount....how many cards did you turn in and is the shipping back to you reasonable? Got about 40 cards I really want to get graded.....Alex

[Kensjca]

We had to have walked right by each other. I was there at 1015 am and left at about 1pm.

I only saw one "non-dealer" bringing in 3 boxes of mixed MLB SP's that he sold to the dealer next to the PSA table. Other than that, I didn't see anyone else walking around with SP's.

Your story about the SB set reminds me of the "old school" produce vendors who display their best fruit up front but don't let you pick from it. Instead, they pick from a bunch of bruised fruit from under their table (you don't realize it until you get home when you open your bag) :D Good thing you checked!

Have fun. I make sure I'll be at the San Hoe show.

Does anybody know what's up with Target and SP's? Are they planning on not carrying them anymore?

The San Jose Landess and Sunnyvale Towncenter Targets are no longer carrying them. I haven't checked the others near by so I don't know if this goes for all South Bay Targets.

Dammit, I think I saw you there Boltz. For some reason I was thinking you were wearing a Chargers Jersey. I got there about 12:30 and I was wearing a Tim Brown Probowl jersey. I was with my little girl.

[daboltz]

Sorry I missed you BigC....I got there at noon, was with my 8 yr old son....Ran into Sharkie (Bruce), he was selling his customized bases for NFL and MLB figs...They looked absolutely amazing...I asked him to post some instructions on how to make the MLB ones....Picked up some cheap NFL rookies as well as a new Shaq and a Carr regular....Should have picked up that Sharpe Retro one guy had for $30...might have to go back tomorrow afternoon to see if I can trade for one of the Mannings 2-pack....great show, lots of stuff to choose from I thought...

[BigC]

I agree, it was a good show, but I'm not going tomorrow.

[POGELOCUS]

I was at Serramonte Mall yesterday and it was a pretty good show...I bought a couple of regular Brady, Shaq2 variant, Mabury2 variant, Odom variant, Magette reg, and a Bettis variant.

[Sharkie]

Serramonte was, I agree, the best SP show around here in some time. Multiple dealers had pretty large quantities. I sold some stuff on Sat. only; traded for an Alfredsson variant that I had never before seen, picked up Moss 2 variant for $15.00 and Shaq 1 variant for $18.00. Lots of low-end variants could be had for $15-20.00. Lotrs of traffic at the Mall on Sat. and dealers had brisk sales. My table mate Chris sold 17 NBA 8 regs in 6 hours. Good to see you again Alex...didn't see anyone else on here that I know of. So....when's the next show around here? Still looking for a SB Carr...

What store was your table in front of?

[Sharkie]

Our table was in front of the Disney Store.

[Sharkie]

Kids Dream in South San Jose got 6 cases of Coops 2 on Wednesday. All variants showed up except Schmidt. He got 3 Mays chasers. Set looks very strong. Catfish is my favorite...already have one opened and building a custom mound. Anyone see any at retail yet? I hear Gamestops maybe next week. How bout any NBA scores? I found a white Maggette last week, but very few cases have hit TRU so far.

Sharkie, I saw more of your custom bases over at Kids Dream this week. The Zito fig looks awsome on the mound. Great stuff!

[J-Goalie]

Bruce noce work on the custom bases =o) look sweet as always

[Sharkie]

Thanks for the kind words guys. Putting the pitchers on mounds really enhances the piece. Mike...did you deliver one of your awesome hockey customs to the shop?...Finish that Cheevers into Craig yet? I'll have to check on Sat. Found 2 cases of NBA at Winchester TRU tonight. 22 figs left and both variants gone. :( Two Coops 2 cases at Oakridge mall came last Mon.; none across the street by Golfland. Variants long gone :( TRU should get Coops next week maybe. Just saw a thread that some guy in PA claims to have seen the Mays/Bonds 2-pack at a TRU. Guess we should start looking...

Any Star Wars fans on this thread. Pittsburg Walmart has Episode 3 figs. I'd guess at least 2 cases worth.

Mike...did you deliver one of your awesome hockey customs to the shop?...Finish that Cheevers into Craig yet? I'll have to check on Sat.

Hey Bruce, haven't started on the Craig custom yet. I've been working on a couple of football customs. You should post a couple of pics of Zito on the mound here.

If I had a working digital camera, I would post. Don't even get me started on that topic...Picked up a Bonds/Mays grey 2-pack at TRU Blossom Hill (SJ) tonight. The box is really cool; great graphics and a nice presentation. The Bonds likness is one of TMP's best. They also had the remnants of a Coop 2 case; only about 4 figs. I heard that some guy got them to open the cases and give him the variants, so that might be one more case still in the back but likely only has regs. If anyone needs a BOSOX Nomar reg or Plummer regs, Gamestop at Blossom Hill and Winfield has them for $1.50-2.50 each. Great for customs.

Do you know if the Toy/Collectible store "Toy Alley" still exists?

I visited it several years ago and was amazed w/ all of their merchandise.

[California Sportspicks]

Buick,
Toy Alley no longer exists, its now called Toy Fusion. Different people running it, different location, its off of El Camino, its still a Consignment Toy Store, but only 1500-2000 Square Feet.

I guess this is where I plug my store =)
