at these shows, whats the general vibe in terms of selling, r people buying or r they trading, whats the rule with pricing. i gotta get rid of my stuff, and it takes so long to try and list them, its hit and miss

90% of the time ppl are to tightarse to buy, they wanna trade for everything but then occasionally you get real collectors (usually older ppl who collect older sets) who are happy to pay for a stockton auto or something similar. And usually me and Gemz are the only people who open boxes at the shows , most others put them away in their little shoulder bags and scurry on home. Thats right Pheer my Sean May auto from SP Sig tin lol

Richo, there are really no more true card shows in Australia anymore, just ones shared with other hobbies/collectables.

However, there is news of trying to organise just a trading card show (yes only cards and a little bit of memorabilia) on the 4th June in Sydney.

In the meantime, there is a collectables fair at Parramatta Town Hall on the 21st May, where there are about 4 tables that deal in trading cards.

Will report here when I have news on the 4th June cause that would be excellent! Much like the mid 90s.

Thanks Sash....

Who remembers the good old card shows Sydney had in the early 90's....they were massive !!!

That sounds like great news Sonny. Definitely keep us posted if it all comes together.
I'll probably drop by Parra this month as well. Bring the Iversons Hopefully Hendra will make it this time as well..

I would love to meet you there bud. I'm not sure how I'm going to bring all my Iverson's though. Perhaps you should come around afterwards and we can play some basketball (real or PS2) at my crib.

It's a bummer it wasn't, let's say, a week later because I do have a really nice card to bring along, if it comes down to it.

BTW Trav, are/were you happy with your UD Ultimate Game Jersey Patch?

Funkadelic · May 9, 2006

Sounds tops. It would definitely be cool to hang out and talk cards and ball.
I have to admit, I love the Ultimate Patch Hendra. It's my new centrepiece and won't be going anywhere for a long time

Here's hoping Sonny will have some attractive deals for everyone up at the show It'd be cool if everyone could make it there this time..Well everybody in Sydney.

Hennessy · May 9, 2006

Let's make a roll-call for the people in Sydney to show up on that day

I wouldn't mind meeting with Lippo for the first time too and others. The more, the merrier.

I see that you LOVE the Ultimate Patch. I knew you would. It's one sweet mama right there. Better than the Patch Name & Pristine Autograph, eh?

I'll talk to you sooner re: meet up at Parra. I have to make sure that I can take that Sunday off from work.

Funkadelic · May 9, 2006

Totally, thats a great idea. OzCards unite! We should start a new post somewhere else where it'll get noticed more and everyone can organise to get there.

I love the Ultimate Patch, it's true. But the Patch Name is pretty sweet too. I got another on Ebay recently, a Patch Number, 3 colour patch but mostly white..You've inspired me.

Hennessy · May 9, 2006

^ Great idea man. You're the greatest at making up threads and subjects, I nominate you to open up a thread to unite us OzCards Sydneyian for once and for all.

Also, a great move to get a UD Game Patch Number man. Those looks very nice and don't worry about the patch being mostly white, check the middle Patch Name of my sig. That patch is mostly white. Glad to be your help mate, anytime for a fellow collector.

Man, it's a b*tch trying to move this UD Etched In Time of A.I. I might bring that card to trade or something at the show.

Richo · May 10, 2006

Excellent, I have posted a reply you Trav's thread and look forward to meeting you guys (If I make it).........how do I get my hands on a flyer ???

ljandkg · May 11, 2006

Guys as some of u know I live in NZ and can't get to those.
If any of u see any KG #21/100 or #21/anything can u try and get them and I will get them off u (Unless we're talking BIG money) I know u will all have yr own things to look for but if u see one and think of me I will fix u up and get the card off u.
No worries if u can't manage it.
Cheers

Sweeet! On the flyer it says the next show will be the 2nd of July, will this be a regular occurence Sonny? If so, awesome. I think I may bypass this Sunday and wait for the Card Show as I need some supplies also.
