I believe these CJs were in the PSA area...these are the ones that were advertised... a high end collection on display and not for sale. Not 100% on that though.
I really wish I would have taken some shots of the Black Swamp cards. They were also behind glass. Amazing condition cards! Razor sharp corners, bleach white borders, rich crimson hues...just gorgeous.
It always amazes me to see so many cherry 50s Topps superstars...not just one or two sharp Mantles, but dozens. In the next dealer's case you will see the same superstar blazers, but in a larger quantity. I am awestruck every year.
I was happy to also see the set builders...well inked want lists in front of them, going through giant stacks of 1957 commons...
...and the kids with their Dads ripping open pack after $4 pack...
...kids scouring the bargain bins...
...people speaking in every regional accent wearing their home team's jersey...
Just like your local show, except you are standing elbow to elbow with the guys who compile the price guides, produce the product, grade your cards, comment on these forums, sell you their wares on eBay and sometimes outbid you.
I had an agenda for my searching, buying and selling...so when I finally completed my main goals, it was already mid-afternoon. I wanted to take more pics, but instead, found myself entering into one interesting conversation after another. I wandered as a grown up kid in the proverbial candy store. I just ran out of time and ran into more and more cools things to see.
If you missed this year's show; no problem, you have a whole year to make it to Cleveland in 2014.
