I haven’t bought a card at a show in like 20 years. I can get everything I want cheaper somewhere else

Shows are just for fun to wander around and people watch

I’m like 50% kidding
Pretty much this. This example is the majority of my experiences at card shows:

Guy has a Freddie Freeman patch auto from Topps Five Star #’d to 35 I think with a $125 sticker on it. This was around a $80-$85 card at the time according to eBay comps. I offer him $90 and he rudely says “No”. No counteroffer or anything. I would have even been willing to go up to $100.
