I attended those shows as a child in the late 70's and early 80's. I'll never forget my first, I was 9 or 10 and walked into the room and thought "I wish I had saved more money" - that thought seemed to be with me often at shows  I'm originally from Chicago and knew of most of the players from the '50's from my mother's stories. I found a Nmt 1964 Minnie Minoso at one of the first tables and bought it. When I got home it was missing, after looking through my stack of cards several times I found it - IN MY BACK POCKET!! Needless to say, I had sat on it several times - it's Nmt days were over.  I loved those shows.
