SportsCardForum.com set up a booth at the Mansfield Card Show in Massachusetts on 16 Feb, 2009.

Mansfield Card Show Massachusetts

The Mansfield card show is the largest and most attended, regularly scheduled show in Massachusetts. You can see the last Mansfield show we attended on 1 Feb here.

Today’s show featured over 70 tables and free autographs from Providence Bruins hockey stars Johnny Boychuk and Martin St. Pierre. Our table was just a few feet from Boychuk and Pierre. 

I set up the Sports Card Forum table about 30 minutes before the 8:45 AM scheduled opening. I brought two laptops to display the forum, the last two issues of Tuff Stuff magazine to feature our articles and tons of fliers and informational cards. I also had a large Sports Card Forum banner behind the table. Here is a video of the SCF Table.

The big draw for the card show was Providence Bruins Johnny Boychuk and Martin St. Pierre providing free autographs for the show. They signed non-stop for at least two hours!

Here is a video of  Johnny Boychuk and Martin St. Pierre arriving at the show.

Here is a video of the line and them signing some pictures and other memorabilia.

Many Sports Card Forum members asked for some autographs, so I purchased three hockey pucks and got some signatures. The pucks will be given away on the site.

I gave away FREE autographed or memorabilia cards to any of the kids or Sports Card Forum members that stopped by the table. Here the box of cards before the show started.

Several Sports Card Forum members stopped by to talk, but the best surprise was meeting Peter Grossmann the winner of our “Favorite Athlete Bio and Cards Contest”.

His Alan Trammell article can be found here. Pete is one of our Super Collectors and a valuable member of SCF. It was great for him to take time to come up to the show and visit!

Yes, I did spend a few minutes to check out the tables. I only purchased one card, but it was a beauty. I bought a 2005 Upper Deck hall-of-Fame Baseball Mike Schimdt card numbered 2 of 5! The card will be given away on our site in a contest, so sign up if you haven’t already!
