I've been to a few shows here and there, most recently another White Rose Gameroom Show (York Show) and my first Texas Show. Hanging out at Old Sled Works in Duncannon, PA, got me exposed to more of the overall collectible market. The Hershey Gameroom Expo was all about collectibles, no doubt about that. I saw slot machines for sale from the turn of the century and jukeboxes of all kinds, including complete 78 rpm and a cassette jukebox. One day was not enough time to photograph all the cool items for sale. I've always been one to live in the past, so this show was a lot of fun to attend. Thanks to Annmarie Garganes and the rest of the folks at the AACA Museum for making me feel right at home, and of course the show's host, Jimmy Rosen. Can't wait until next year! There's so much to do nearby. Just up the road and across the street is Hershey Park, home of the Christmas Sweet Lights, and Giant Center, with lots of sporting events and concerts year around.

I saw lots of pins and various collectibles going out the door. If you bought or sold something after the fact from seeing my pics, or any questions about the show in general, feel free to email me.

The sign seen from the street. I took this shot before I headed for the hotel at the end of the day.

Looks like I'm in the right place. I guess that's a Nitro Ground Shaker. Wonder if it sold? The vehicle's owner sure knew how to utilize space.

This tree lights up at night, starting at the bottom, and working it's way up, depending how much money has been raised.

Bill Erdley arrives with some classic rare pins.

I got pics of this pin set up inside. It was also at Sledworks for sale recently. Quite a rare pin, like most of this era.

Juke dealers were everywhere, even when you walked in.

Jimmy Rosen, the guy behind the show, arrives to say hi briefly, while in the middle of a call.

A shot inside of the second floor's main show area.

Flinstones and Championship Pub, two very collectible recent titles. Both these pins were clean and worked great.

No shortage of records here.

All kinds of records.

not just records for sale.

My favorite pin upstairs was Buckaroo. You don't see this pin too often at a show. This one was plugged in, and working.

More rare stuff.
