Not too many big card shows up here in Canada but I remember going to Florida every year to watch Spring Training.
One time that stands out in my mind was in the late 1980's my grandfather drove us to a card store in Tarpon Springs, Florida and the store was closed because Ted Williams was inside doing a private signing. I remember spending almost an hour peeking through the window watching him sign boxes of balls and bats.
He never batted an eye at me peering through the window. But I remember how tall and towering he was, as I was probably only 12 or 13 at the time.
I knew it was a big deal because my grandfather was "in awe" of seeing one of his childhood heroes as well.
