Memphis, TN National Show - Planning

[Poison_Us]

I know it's probably a bit far off of the radar for most people, but I was curious if anyone already has plans on attending. I know the Baltimore show is a large show, and we will miss that, but the National show may be doable for us. The distance is about the same, so it's a days drive to get there. May be able to save a few bux between now and then if I plan it right (and stay away from ebay)


June 25 - 26 (Saturday - Sunday)Memphis, TN Federation of Historical Bottle Collectors’ Annual National Show & Sale at the Cook Convention Center, Memphis, TN. Info: R. Wayne Lowry, FOHBC Conventions Director, ph: (816) 318-0161, email: JarDoctor@aol.com.

If things work out Memphis will be my third show in three weeks following Atlanta and Birmingham.

I am definitely planning to set up in Memphis this year. My first bottle National. The National bottle show always is within a week of the Sports Collectors National and I can't manage to make both of them. This year they made the bottle show a month earlier and I'm going.

Thanks, Brad. It's up in the air at the moment... So many things going on, with bills to pay and all that. And now gas is going to be a big factor for anyone having to travel any distance...

Got my show contract today. Table fees for FOHBC members is just $45. for 8' table. I'm going to get 4 tables. That is so cheap compared to the Sports Collectors National where it costs me $1200. for a 10'x15' booth. For that amount of money I could get 27 eight foot tables at the bottle national.

Yeah, bottle dealers have it so easy. The biggest comic book shows cost around a grand for a 10 by 10 booth. I've set up at the balt comic con (probab 2nd tier show) for $550. I've also done small comic and bb card shows and they are usually $100-150 for a 6 foot table.

And high end indoor antique shows cost a small fortune.
