There are 3,127 shows in WI if anyone is in the area. Speaking of which, I feel kinda left out... Anyone want to partner up and start a show? :-)

More importantly what would a Ty Cobb base sapphire RC sell for? And what about a duplicate base TCUS repeat (non RD) do? Assuming iconic flagship image and doubled PR of course on the repeat. Inquiring minds wanna know.

Crazy to think where we are now compared with the ol boys thinking pictures of the games best might sell a few more packs a smokes.

Good crowd Very little cash changing hands Tons of guys trying to sell to the dealers Dealers weren't buying or trading Pelibois looking to unload junk Most things were overpriced (showcasing their stuff like a museum) Cheap stuff did well |

You must've missed the boom shows. It was quite the opposite. The point being...this is the new norm. Doesn't matter if it's a show in someones basement in Tulsa or the Dallas show. What I described is the now and foreseeable future.

Pelibois were around in the 80s? Trimming had been around but grading those trimmed cards started in the 90s.

Trying to peddle don mattingly and Dwight Gooden cards in swarms. But instead of blocking the views of customers with their carrying cases, your vision was obstructed by their wildly erect hairstyles. |

As a Mid-Atlantic resident, what would I get out of going to Dallas vs. Chantilly & Philly?

I'm not going to be in a rush to go back (probably July again), but it's still a best in class show again. It's also in a great spot with good restaurants and reasonably priced hotels around. |

I'm thinking a lot better selection of Dallas Cowboys cards.

I saw the one video from the show that had a guy with just absolutely stupid .25 cent boxes. Sounds like he got a collection for crazy cheap and was passing on the deals to customers there. People with stacks upon stacks.

Went to another Sunday-only show on the Southwest side of Chicago (further west than the last one -- Orland Park this time). This show wasn't for me. It was billed as 80 tables (compared to the 50 at the other show) and the room and corridors were tight without much room to browse or navigate beginning at the 9:00 hour. Nothing was easy to check out and many vendors felt unapproachable. I left feeling like I wanted to spend more money but I wasn't seeing anything for me and I felt like the space wasn't comfortable.

I went to the Dallas show all 4 days. I bought more than I ever have before. Plenty of deals to be made. Dealers were definitely more willing to make deals than anytime during the last 2 years. It was a fun time.

Credit Card, Loans, and saving marriage are factors with this.
