Maybe once Covid clears up a bit and the world goes back to normal, we can meet. I could use someone in the flesh, who can converse about baseball cards for more than 8 seconds (I think that is my wife's record
).
I used to be a little more active in roaming the shops and shows, but in the last decade or so it seems that making those trips was simply a chance to chat with the owners and I rarely found anything aI wanted or was priced where I felt it was better than just buying one online.
When I was working on the Eastside and found myself out in the "field" and close enough, I used to hit DJs in Renton around lunchtime. When my kids were younger, we drove down a few times on a Saturday, but they lost interest fast and a 80+ mile round trip drive to a card shop just doesn't make sense these days.
