This morning I made the 40 minute drive to the Marysville Lions Club to attend one of the CC Collectibles shows. The show was a little bigger than your standard mall show and I got to see some of the regular dealers. Former Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagle’s linebacker Bill Bergey arrived around lunchtime to sign a few autographs. They had a lot of Eagles memorabilia you could purchase for Bergey to sign, but I took along my football. I think this was the last autograph on this football because its getting a little full.
It didn’t take long to look through many of the dealer’s tables. I picked up the following singles for my personal collection:
- Lynn Swann ’08 UD Premier Dual Jersey #’ed/65 – this was the first Swann relic I’ve seen in person. Goes great with my old relic collection.
- Christy Mathewson ’09 Topps Commemorative 1905 World Series Patch – I know its a manufactured patch, but I really like Mathewson cards and it looks cool. I go by his college and grave everyday on my way to school.
- J.A. Happ ’04 Bowman Chrome First Year – One dealer had an album full of Phillies cards. As soon as I found this one I knew I had to have it.
- Shane Victorino ’03 Bowman’s Best First Year – Another dealer had a huge stack of Victorino cards from 2003. Even though he is in a Dodgers uniform I bought it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many Victorino rookies at one dealer’s table in all my life.
I also purchased a box of ’09 Absolute Memorabilia Football from a dealer located in York, PA. I pulled the following hits:
- Shonn Greene Jersey/Ball/Jersey Auto #’ed/299
- Jason Smith Jersey Auto #’ed/25
- “Cadillac” Williams Prime Jersey/Shoe #’ed/50
- Leon Washington/Jerricho Cotchery/Thomas Jones Triple Patch #’ed/25
Overall it was a decent show. A lot of Phillies, Eagles, and Steelers stuff. Another dealer had a box full of vintage graded cards going all the way back to the 30’s. It was fun looking through all of those cards. I give this show 3 hot dogs out of 5 (1=poor & 5=perfect).
Bill Bergey has autographs in ’97 UD Legends, ’99 UD SP Signature, and ’04 UD Legends.

Thanks for this show report, I have family in that area and have considered going to one there.
glad to hear it is one of the bigger shows. will definitely try and make it out there one of these days.
It was a little bigger than a mall show. Its not a huge show like valley forge, but if they get another autograph guest there i’d go again.
I wasn’t even aware they had shows there. Bummer because my son is an eagles fan. I’ll have to try to catch the next one.
