I cannot believe it's been a week since the show and I haven't had opportunity to share my thanks
Work seems to do that
Anyway, first off, as others have mentioned, the WSSCA show is the best, not due to its size or for the gigantic crowds. It is the best because of the people!
In my experience...The crowd is big enough to let the dealers sell their wares, but not so much as you cannot visit and converse with the dealers and really dig through the stacks of cards. And there are so many great cards!
I try to bring just money with me, but leave with just cards and memories of a good time with the people.
I always enjoy seeing Andrew J., Rob A., Mark M., Mr VG Lyle, Conor, Terry K., Mark C, and Keith behind the tables.
I enjoy visiting with collectors Dave F (my landlord
), Rick L, Larry M(oe) and others.
This time I met David (Kawika), Scott F., Luke, Jeff (Bicem) and DRCY for the first time, adding to the list of cool cats I know in the greatest hobby ever.
At the risk of missing someone, let me just say that I thank you *all* for the venue, the opportunity, the conversation, the friendship and the relief from hectic work days!!
WSSCA Forever,
