Chicagoland (vinyl) Record Collectors Show


In case you are wondering what it's like to attend a Chicagoland (vinyl) Record Collectors Show, I took a few photos from this past Sunday.  For the $3 entry fee - you just can't beat the fun!  Above is what a pretty typical vendor table looks like.  (Vendor tables are $45 I think).  Some vendors have thier records very well sorted and categorized by genre.  And some other just have all types of records in bins marked, for instance $2 - or "3 for $10." 

Here is a record vendor dude.  He let me take this photo.  He picked this record to hold up because I think it rare or of a very high value.  These record shows are scheduled quarterly or every other month.  And I live only a few minutes away from the hotel where they are held.  I've been two times now.  Most recently - I arrived around 10 am on Sunday and there were many attendees/shoppers.  The other time I went, it was after lunch and the crowd had thinned out.  I think better deals can be made later in the day.  What a blast!
