Status: offline 		I don't have a terribly large amount of bottle shows under my belt Matt, (I've been to Lowell, Keene, Buffalo, Rochester, and Pittsburgh,... but compared to say, Baltimore or Keene, It would probably be a let down....It's a good show, don't get me wrong, Just not on the scale of those higher end shows...I've been twice with Tom, and I would say attendence is "medium"....

Status: offline 		there isnt much that compares to Baltimore show, I dont expect that.

It sounds like it is a reasonally good show. I'm going to plan on going unless something comes up.
Will probably drive up the night before, its bit of a long haul up there.

They are expecting a good turnout as far as buyers too as lots of questions have been being fielded as well.

He said  to contact him w/any questions.  724-326-8741

Status: offline 		Not that much compares to Keene or Balt, but I would rate this show at around a 7+ in comparison.  Nice show overall.  I have gotten some great deals at this show.  If you're not in a hot diggin spot, definately worth the drive.  Nice folks too!

PD

Status: offline 		I got an email on Friday telling me that there would be a Breweriana / antique bottle show in Madison on Saturday. Got there first thing in the morning...
Maybe 12 tables, about three with blob and early crown sodas and beers, two guys that had a few medicines and inks mixed in, and all the rest was lighted beer signs, cans, etc. Very disappointing.
Then again, I have only been to the Elkton show and the Baltimore show. Elkton is small but I always found some good bottles there. The Baltimore show, well that sort of spoils you.
The Milwaukee show is supposed to be good. Unfortunately it is on a Sunday and I have trouble justifying skipping church for a bottle show. At least for the Baltimore I could run out there in the afternoon. The drive to Milwaukee may be too long....but you never know.
Hope you all have good fortune at the Pittsburgh show!

Status: offline 		Show did sell out.  Crowd seemed a little light or broke.  Heard quite a few people didn't sell much at all.  I did alright, more than covered the trip.  Scored an elusive local that I had only ever dug shards of.  Met Gunther for the first time, visited with digswithstick and Bob.  Overall nice time at the show.

On the downside, I will pack my own lunch next year.  Watched the girls in the kitchen handle money and then food without ever washing their hands or putting on gloves even.  I made it a point to make sure some other people noticed it too.

PD
