The Lexington National Guard Armory is one of the Longest running shows at in Beckett Baseball Beckett Show Calendar. As I believe the show is approaching it 20th year in November and has been in the Beckett Show Listings under Kentucky for 20 years. Good to say it still going strong and Larry Watts the show promoter is hoping to keep it going strong and having a nice 20th Anniversary show this coming November.

I went over slightly after 12 and there was some activity for a small show in from my view. Here a picture of the show about a hour later and I was told at 10 it was twice as busy and I was like geez not bad. Guess the early birds like to get there early so they don't miss the WHITE WHALE.



I stayed for about 3 hours and talked to a few of my buddies that I talk to everytime I go, especially Don who I chat with OSU vs UM all the time. There is not much to smile on about my plate as we lost too many on that front in the Big Football Rivalry.

I went back Sunday as that usually only when the diehards set up but let just say glad i did as a few people sometimes just set up for a few hours as the Tables are only $15 a piece (WHERE CAN YOU BEAT THAT TABLE PRICE)!!

Here what I picked up on Sunday for $10





I also took a few pictures of a guy that I seen that sets up on his day off from work occasionally. He did pick up a few nice trades as a guy came by trying to sell a few Willie Mays, Cal Ripken, Justice, Griffey, and a few other authenticated Balls to him. He passed on the lot but did pick up the Cal Ripken ball!!



Here is some more pictures of the guy that had the Balls as I took a few pictures of his cases:



A nice two color REGGIE BUSH!!



I will try to put up a few more pictures of some other Hockey I picked up 2nd Gretzky and some other 80-81.

Paid $20 for both with the Gretzky booking at $90 and it is UNSCRATCHED!!

sweet Bush patch did have some of those old topps scratch off hockeys.

Thanks for the pics, maybe someday I'll be able to find a show

George,
I sent a e-mail to the guy with the BUSH so if he comes here hopefully you can inquire about trading for it.

Sorry to post on something 3 months old...maybe I'll get an answer...

Anyway, I used to live in LEX and am now only like 2.5 hours away. It seems like a good show and would be worth my drive...just one question - how much vintage baseball is there? All the pics just show new stuff or hockey or football? I'm a set builder so I'm not necessarily looking for stars...do you ever see alot of '59-'69 baseball?

I see alot of vintage down there myself. I usually go every month. Should be there the end of this month. I can't say about exact years but I do see some vintage.

Well as for Vintage there a guy that does real vintage as I did a video of Don on YOU TUBES as he does the old peidmonts, 202's, and a lot of stuff like that. As for other vintage cards there are a few guys that bring it from time to time.

p.s. Where do you live now as your saying it a 2.5 hour drive? As Htwheelz01 said he sets up so he should know what is there from time to time as well.

Quick question! It is 3:06PM and I am thinking of heading out to the armory for this month's show. I am wondering, do tables buy cards from you? Like, if I bring cards, will they be interested in purchasing them for resale?

I need to know ASAP before 5PM because I am trying to get this Rajon Rondo auto off my hands.

Thanks guys.

Well sorry I was at the show until about that time. If your looking to sell cards people will buy but you won't get a lot of money unless the card is hot, the person knows they can flip the card, or it sells for close to that on ebay etc.

p.s. If you have any questions feel free I might drop by there again tomorrow as I am going to post a few things tonite about what I picked up at the show.

Sweet, thanks. I didn't get to make it out today because I left my lights on and had to call AAA, haha, but I will be there tomorrow. I am looking to sell a Rajon Rondo UD Artifacts AUTO and some Adrian Peterson rookie cards.

I will probably be there at about 2PM. Thanks.
