I was struck by how many tables had signs about buying and how many people are trying to sell their hard case of slabs. So many tables seemed to only care about buying, with a few token cards out for attention, that was interesting to me.

I have such a narrow collecting focus on RJ cards with all my active buying being 90s rarities, I never expect to find anything at a show. I did find a few tables with some solid 90s stashes though, hard to miss an EC or Star Rubies. Even saw a sweet Griffey Bowman Golden Anniversary Refractor. And I saw 4 or 5 RJ cards after a few passes thru, nothing needed though.

I'm not sure if the hobby is healthy or what have you, but the participation and activity are quite astounding.
