Default Raleigh Show May 18-20

Posted By: Lee

I was at the show as a vendor all 3 days. There was not a lot of pre-war, only 5 people (including myself) had anything. Most of the pre-war was t206, 4 out of the 5 vendors with pre-war cards only had t206. Prices were moderate at the show on t206, there were only a few deals to be found, and most cards were priced above or at going market rates. I did happen to buy a fair condition t206 Cobb bat on shoulder for a decent price, though. I did get to meet Larrie Dean and other pre-war hobbists, which was pleasent. Mostly a sea of shiny crap, though. On Sunday there was a big uproar because someone pulled a 1 of 1 Marchial (sp?) card worth 4K.....

Overall, the show was great if you are into new cards, but don't count on taking any pre-war cards home at a steal. Unless you go on Friday or Sunday, there are not that many deals to be had. Friday it seemed people were anxious to move product because it is the first day and they want to get off the a good start and by Sunday, desperation sets in to sell and have a good show.....Anyone else attend?
