The next Philly Non-Sports Card Show is only a month away and plans are under way to honor the shows matriarch. The 82nd version of the show will serve to honor the legacy of Roxanne Toser, who had been promoting the show since 2007. The show is scheduled to take place April 5 & 6 at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center is Oaks, PA. A note to frequent show goers, the show is moving to Hall D, a slightly large hall than their usual Hall E venue.
The show will once again have a huge Garbage Pail Kids presence. The artist lineup is a star studded lineup featuring current GPK final artists, Joe Simko, David Gross, Joe McWilliams, and Neil Camera. There will be a four card set honoring Roxanne Toser at the show. Each of the featured artists created a GPK promo card for the show to honor Roxanne. The artists created the cards and had them printed at their own expense. Collectors attending the show will receive one of the promo cards at random with their paid admission. Collectors wishing to purchase the full set will be able to at the show for $10 with profits going to Historic B’nai Jacob Synagogue, something that was near and dear to Roxanne. Collectors who cannot make the show will be able to purchase the four-card set for $10 each plus shipping ($3 for 1-2 sets, $5 for 3-5 sets; maximum is 5). You may send a check to Roxanne Toser Enterprises, Inc., 4019 Green St., Harrisburg, PA 17110 or pay via Venmo at @Marlin-Toser (if a code is requested, use 8565).
