September 25th Show
Leon, I concur with what Ben indicated that unfortunately traffic was rather light, and those that attended were more looking for the newer stuff. Regardless, though, to dido what Ben said, I still had a great time, and it was great talking sports cards and other stuff with Ben in between what customers there were. It was also great meeting Tom as well! One more friendly face....Jim Fleck (707 Sports cards) was there as he is relatively local to the show.
I spoke with the promoter afterwards, and he admitted it was much lighter than past shows. We discussed that perhaps the "football" theme worked against us, with 3 former NY Giant signers. Perhaps being on Football Sunday worked against us, coupled with it being such a nice day! Next time he indicated he will go back to Baseball! As Ben said, he is a real class act, and puts in maximum effort!
Anyway, I will give it another shot next time, assuming I do not have a conflict. I also know what better to bring.
