It was just brought to my attention that there are scams trying to get our customers to prepay using electronic payments. WE WILL NEVER ASK YOU TO PREPAY USING ELECTRONIC PAYMENTS SUCH AS VENMO, ZELLE, PAYPAL, ETC. Please report to us anything you see doing this so we can block them, report them to Facebook, and then send this to local police.
We will soon report this over our other social media outlets. I have informed our social media team of this unfortunate incident.

Broke 2 days ago within national hobby publication

It's moved around a bit since it was founded back in the 70s, but the Cranston, Rhode Island Sports Card Show remains a wintertime staple in New England, but draws collectors from a wide area.

Do you all want a trade night Saturday? If yes I could find a location with sports television and other goodies that can hopefully fit 100 people with a bar. I'll do it if you want it. You have to let me know.

I hope everyone had a good time at the show and will be looking forward to our February 1 & 2 show that we are working on as I type. I live by an old saying "If you are happy with your experience tell others. If you're not happy tell me." We work very hard to bring you a positive experience but sometimes fall a little short with a few but want to make it right with everyone if there is such a thing. We already have a sponsor for the February show!

That being said I'd like to express my stand on security issues on the internet and protecting this page. In order to protect our identity from being stolen I'm shy regarding private messages that ask me "can you tell me more about yourself?". I don't understand the message as the internet is filled with 48 years of information on us and I won't respond to suspicious questions like this. Also, if I don't know you and you ask a question like "how much is admission?" In a private message I become suspicious again. If we don't know each other keep your questions public on our page here and I will answer them. Only send me private messages if you feel the content is sensitive and shouldn't be in a public forum. I'm just trying to protect the Cranston Sports Card Show page identity from those who would like to steal it and try to commit fraud by selling you something under our image. Thank you for your understanding.
