White Plains Show
I went to White Plains ( I think calling it the " East Coast National"..is a bit much)
.Im a long time collector .. but only go to a " big show" maybe once a year ( Philly Show, White Plains, Edison NJ,etc.)
Im into lower grade..older stuff 30s40s..but lower grade,
I picked up things here and there... a few 66/67 high#s, a 30s Batter Up or two,..but more times then not I say no to the high dealer prices and pass on stuff I " need"....knowing I can eventually find it on line ..if Im patient enough
I don't know what many dealers are thinking - common stuff like a beat up 65T embossed Aaron or Clemente... the guys said.." Ah..give me 10 bucks "..yea right..I just got one off ebay for 1.99 ! Most dealers don't know how to properly price cards in low grade.. they try to sell a Fair condition 1940 PlayBall star at half the NM price ! clueless..
I always walk out of shows like this thinking... OK yes they did have stuff Ive been searching for...but the price wasn't right
