Leesport 2007 Tri chapter show

Sun, 03 Jun 2007 20:59:33 GMT

Well, this was long my anticipated 1st trade tables in 25 years...... the tables with flag banners were mine..... added some old school style even for a local show!

Leesport..tri chapter show..... actually 4 chapters..... Greater Delaware valley/ keystone/ Horlacher/Coal Cracker........ABA and ECBA were in attendance also! Had my million dollar question answered by Len Chylack....ABA & Coal cracker president......He is the only other collector in my town of west Chester pa.......Or is he...???......... No it was not him on the early stages of phillies on ebay......Or the other aluminum bottles...Maxim and others...... There is another collector in this home town.....HMMM...!!?? No affiliations to organizations.....Hopefully to make contact some day...???!!!

The Senior collectors in my chapter have wondered if I would do any tables and not be the walk in sly fox bandit ! Mission accomplished! The base ball cans and bottles were running wild... moved some and got some...the name of the game as a collector! Take in's paid for the tables/Ga$ and the + side for a change. My son went with me, unfortunately not a soda show.....He had some really cool items also! A bit of trivia pointed out to me by John Ahrens BCCA #9........All the base ball cans have the same freshness date......there were 2 runs done..... this is same for all teams! Even the new Myrtle beach bike can has same date as the base ball cans.......April 07... HMM....

Long day... forgot how fun it is un packing....GRR...

All in all it was fun!

A nice cool Sunday afternoon in Leesport Pa for a can show (Near reading Pa.)

18 photos of general stuff from the show. This was Greater Delaware Valleys sponsored show, Also many Keystone, Coal Cracker, Horlacher chapters showed up in support as well as members of ABA and ECBA. A small show, but that does not matter, always a lot of new cans and collectors from well out of state.

picture 3 Big John Kizas from Florida taking a break after some big sales and trades. Picture # 10 is Jay herbine #353 of Keystone Chapter with the "get your rolling rock before too late" sign. Some terrific Canadian cans from Butch Kroskey from western Pa.

I guess other photos are cool Neon, signs and just a general look around of this small show. Of course picture 18 is always the raffle. Some goodies were won there. I picked up a couple items from raffle. Overall, just a look at a small show here in Pa that moved a Lot of cans in and out of there in the short 6 hour time show was open.... I was quite busy to say the least!

Another DE. Beer run/ Shelf expansion....

Well, I guess a beer run to Delaware, The Big size can collectors have liked these, mostly 24 OZ. After 30 years old English made a label change!? Spares are still around! The Zima's and Old Style were From last month, picked these up on way back from Hershey park! A picture of last shelf expansion. This is also inclusive of my sons needs as he collects soda and energy drink cans. Total budget... about $60 and a lot of work..... 1 x 3s at home depot and a router some foam insulation in backing.. The Capitol wheat is a huge find that was given to me by Big John from Florida at spring thaw, still seams to be a hard can ( Micro to get!!)....... (none for trade, but a nice can!)

These pictures are from Horlacher/ ECBA show today. Newcomers, oldtimers it was a good day. Lots of brewriana cans and stuff on display today.As a walk-in trader, I moved 2 cases of Slyfox and 7 aluminum Budlight st. Patricks cans, so it was a good day for me. One of the pictures shows me picking through cans ( back turned), I handed my daughter my beer and she's looking at it like what the hell is this? One of the other pictures shows BCCA #9 John Ahrens (Larwood) getting my Michelob Golf can sets together. A beer run on the way home, I just need to sort out my traders now. Then post more pictures. The other picture is me trying to sort out and mail these Slyfox cans for trade buddies/ friends.
