I am posting info about a card show card show in New Hartford, NY (A suburb of Utica) this Sunday on the slim chance that someone in the upstate NY area may be interested in going. Jay Novacek, former TE of the Dallas Cowboys, is the guest signer.

To show the decline of the sports card hobby, this is the first show in the Utica area in over a decade! I'm a fair distance from Utica but I knew of at least 6 card stores (5 which were within walking distance from each other) in the 1990s and early 2000s and there were card shows in that area on at least a monthly basis. Now I don't know of any card stores there except for the one putting on this show and I have no idea where it is! Obviously, according to the above advertisement, card shows are non existent there these days in the greater Utica area.
If anyone is in that area, you finally have a local card show to attend. An on the flip side this now rare event really illustrates the sharp decline of the hobby.
