No Sportsfest show for 2009?

cardsrus1 · 04-22-2009, 07:23 PM

I was trying to find out the dates for this years show and I have found nothing. Does anyone know if it was canceled? I did find a new show in Chicago in July, Fansedge Sports Spectacular. It looks like it will be the same size with a lot of major signers, it is even a 4 day show. Hopefully Blowout will be there

I've been waiting for Sportsfest info as well. I wonder if they decided not to hold it this year and Mounted Memories stepped up with the new show. Some decent autograph guests.

Details for anyone interested: Schwartz Sports - Fansedge Show @ www.SchwartzSports.com

The discounted Friday Autograph guests are big names like Howe, Rose, Jim Brown, Butkus, Bench, etc. Seems like a good concept to bring in more people to the show.

No, that was the Sun Times show. That show happens every March and November. Sportsfest is actually a bigger show that used to be in June, it was sponsored by SCD. The only show bigger was the National.

The 2009 Sportsfest show has been officially canceled. I E-mailed Krause/SCD over the weekend and they confirmed that it has been canceled.

Mounted Memories is bad...they've completely ruined the autograph session that Topps used to hold at the HOF each summer!
