Mike WilliamsRamblings and such...
A noticible lack of "E" cards (however, I did pick up and E90-1 Speaker). In general, I thought there was a lack of type collector stuff. Mostly mainstream vintage material and a ton of stuff from the 50's/60's. Saturday was busy, Sunday was dead. The traffic at the 4-5 grading booths seemed slow. SGC seems to get the lions share with a good many of those being crossovers (hmmmm!).
Spoke to Derek Grady from Mastro (formally SGC) for a while, good guy with a solid grasp on the state of our hobby. I also had a chance to talk with Scott of SGC (I'm assuming he's taken over for Derek)....another good guy, very easy to talk to and appears like he knows what he's doing. I submitted a few cards to SGC and all were fairly graded.
Had a chance to meet some good folks that post here....as well as some that always outbid me in eBay. It always seems like such a "small world" when you go to shows these days.
All in all a good show....but I did get the feeling that things seem to be drying up a bit.
Take care all!
